Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 06, 2023

The umps are all too busy watching the pitch clock!

hang in there, Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown is finally out-standing at something!

Baseball is a dangerous game

Does this mean that your drought of victories at the diamond is over?

Time for Part Two. “So cry no more, on the shore of dreams will take us out to sea, forever more-” Same song as yesterday. And yes, CB is all alone.

Oh, Charlie, Charlie, Charlie. If there had been an umpire around, he would’ve sent you home when the deluge began. But, that’s right, when all our attempts at controlling things fail, blame the ump or ref.

That’s what happens when you defund the umpires.

Snoopy will come for you with his boat.

Joe Btfsplk has better luck than Chuck.

He should probably move before he gets struck by lightning

In this case, a lifeguard will do.

I don’t think an umpire would be any help right now, Charlie Brown.

I think a lifeboat would be more useful right now, Chuck!

Sorta reminds me of the movie The Shallows.

The whole town would be flooded if the pitcher’s mound is that deep.

Snoopy would be the only one that would help you Charlie Brown.

This is not what Charlie Brown had in mind about throwing a sinker.

swim as fast as you can, charlie brown!

He needs one of those guys who works on the airport tarmac guiding planes with flashlights

Chuck, you’re in Ohio. You have a ways to go before you get to sea. Lake Erie on the other hand…

The umpires had enough sense to get out of the rain. Today, I’m not sure our MLB umpires have that much sense.

Give my regards to Moby Dick.

That’s true. It’s not like you need Schroeder to be there when you’re pitching. What’s he gonna do, help you lose less?

The red background in third panel with the word ‘Help’ is impeccable unique genre of Schulz.

The young man and the sea.

Could be worse, Chuck: you could be going to sea in a sieve.

Anchors aweigh, my boy!

Or a teacher

There’s umpire’s at your games?

I’m not seeing how a pile of dirt can float away, intact.

The umpire did call the game and tell you to go home. Had you done so you’d now be warm and dry.
