Peanuts by Charles Schulz for August 16, 2023

That was very descriptive Linus. Also, Lucy’s moment of concern there.

Wow! Linus caught the ball and threw it back!

This is why I never played sports that allowed weapons.

Linus is quite a fielder!

What is a dugout like?

I guess Linus has his experience with big sister to fuel his worse case scenario. Besides, if any player from Charlie’s team were to be dragged into the dugout and beaten with bats it’d be Schroeder, the catcher, not an outfielder.

Maybe Lucy should have stayed a reporter instead of being part of the team…

It’s amazing how Linus can have a conversation with Lucy and focus on the game at the same time.

Doug Outz was traded for Snoopy back in ’62.

Quite the BATtery Linus received

Isn’’t Lucy supposed to be in the outfield?

Do they have locker rooms? That’s where I received most of my beatings…

Should’ve just walked away after he said “yes”.

He must have seen Goodfellows to get that idea

Lucy is surprised by Linus’ description of dugout drubbing. Her acceptable form of violence is verbal abuse at which she excels.

The second of the Championship Games a team I was on won in my short three-year Little League career, had dugouts. Ratty, grungy dugouts, but dugouts, and we loved it! ☺

Today’s headline would be “Linus beaten with bats by opposing team”

Not to mention the bench-clearing brawls after a hit-by-pitch.

Violins in sports. Also cellos
