Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 04, 2023

“How high’s the water, mama?”

They’ll only come back two by two…

Surf’s up!

I’m surprised Snoopy hasn’t come by in a row boat!

If this had been a soccer game instead of baseball, it wouldn’t have been called before the whitecaps appeared.

It get worse……No spoiler.

“There aren’t even any white caps!”

Except the one on his head!

What’s that on your head, Charlie Brown?

Would you call a Pop Fly, a Splash Down?

The West Michigan Whitecaps are a Minor League Baseball team of the Midwest League and the High-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers. They are located in Comstock Park, Michigan, a suburb of Grand Rapids, and play their home games at LMCU Ballpark. They are out of your league Charlie Brown.

Well…..At least Charlie Brown got one thing down right. As a Pitcher, he has water.

Y’know, there are hardly any sharks at all!

“Here, Charlie Brown. I brought your surfboard.”

Maybe this was the inspiration of Calvin’s father telling him certain sufferings build character.

The fishing is great!

Oh. Is this where…?

What are white caps?

game called on account of flood

Now that’s true sportsmanship. An athlete truly dedicated to his team sport. No matter how down your team is and hopeless it seems, as someone once said, “The game ain’t over until the fat lady swims!”

Now, I’m worried about our intrepid baseballer. He must have baseballism, a serious degenerative disease leading to, dare I say it, Australian football.

By the way, where the heck are his parents?

There would be White Caps if you were in West Michigan!

Call Noah.

Chuck, you need to get inside before you get sick.

except your cap, charlie brown.

CB showing moxie!

What about the white cap on Charlie Brown’s head?

Right about now, a string quartet floats by playing “Nearer my God to Thee.”

Ah, the Great Fort Lauderdale Flood.

Baseball is his life,

It would be funnier if Woodstock, dressed as Noah, floated by in a tiny ark inhabited by other small yellow birds that look like him.

Except the one on your head….

You need a wind of 15-20 knots to make whitecaps (old sailor here).

YES ……. there is “WHITE CAP” ….. it’s on your head ……… :)

It never rains in sunny California….I’ve heard some people say….

It never rains in sunny California…as they swam past me downtown the other day…..

If you start seeing a boat like structure with male and female of every kind of creature, I’d say it’s high time to cancel the game

That’s okay, CB, you can still have them swimming the bases.

There are no caps because everyone left

Only in a cartoon that can happen unless you’re in Las Vegas…

Dude, you’re standing in the middle of a lake!

Except the one you are wearing, Chuck.

Ahh. Good football weather…..

You’re Going to Drown, Charlie Brown

Aren’t any actual waves either. But it’s bad enough they’re there. Worse that the water is almost to the top of the mound.

..said the kid from Florida …it Northern Utah ..or… Gosh, what’s a little rain?! Just makes the game a little more interesting…

Charlie Brown is challenging what Santayana said about fanatics.

Charlie Brown gets lot of grief for being wishy washy, but I don’t know seems like a truly dedicated man to me.
