Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 25, 2024

Brutal

game called on account of drain!

Hockey’s another game that never appealed to me—and wouldn’t even if I could ice skate!

Well, that’s what you get for playing on thin ice.

Both Snoopy and Woodstock look like Charlie Brown, on the pitchers mound, taking a line drive. The only difference is there’s no article of clothing flying off either of them.

Everyone in the penalty box!

You mean the linesmen aren’t supposed to get into a brawl?

Why? Oh why? Oh, lent them money for a new birdbath…

Better a broken birdbath than a true bloodbath…

“Getting”?

Bye bye birdie…..bath!

And my first thought was Rodney Dangerfield. “I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.”

I wonder if Charles Schulz ever saw the original version of Slapshot?

Let this be a lesson to all of us: Never play hockey on a birdbath.

Getting?

5 minutes in the box for high-sticking!

I had a health issue with my hips and thus in playing hockey I was made the goalie; beign restricted in ambularoty movement as a youth, I was inept at ice skating and thus stayerd fixed at the goal. Ob viously I did not play much and never really deveoped an interst in the game as a spectator.

Hockey is about the only sport I watch on tv, except for some of the Olympics. Womens beach volleyball e.g.

Who would have thought that as small as Woodstock is that he could be so violent?

Same with football.

“This never happened to Wayne Gretzky!”

Dratted cheap arenas!

Must have been watching last night’s Flames/Oilers game…

There have been more fights in sports lately for likely no good reason.

They killed the bird bath!

Wrecked Rickety Rink…

I played it from ages 6-12 and can attest to that fact. A kid on our team knew judo and could toss around the other players

Love the bust-up of the bird bath. Colloseum Collapse!!

in remembrance of Don Rickles- if I want to see a hockey puck I’ll turn on the news

Today’s Ziggy.

Actually fighting at hockey games has reduced over the last few years.
