Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 25, 2023

When I win it’s still, when I lose, it’s just my luck.

This calls to mind Walt Kelly’s Pogo—the strip where Albert has lost a checkers game and vigorously flaps the folding board while hollering, “Earthquake! Earthquake! Game called on account of a earthquake!”

The inspiration for the long thread about CB and Lucy playing checkers, years later.

Sore loser!

Careful, Patty; Baby Lucy is watching your every fussbudget move from her fussbudget crib.

Sore loser.

“Beginner’s Luck is the Art of not knowing how to lose” – P.Ash

I remember reading that strip.

Children playing in a time before iPads.

It’s skill when I win, but luck when you win.
