Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 27, 2024

Your legacy lives on with another generation, Charlie Brown! :D

There we go, we finally get the name drop for this group.

He doesn’t coach this team any better than his neighborhood team.

it beats the “Blockheads” Charlie Brown!

9th grade, gym teacher posted a sheet with the wins / loses among the classes in volleyball. One of the classes called themselves “The Do Nothings” because they were in last place with zero wins.

It’s not entirely a bad name. It does have “goose” in it.

Forerunners of “The Mighty Ducks”.

Well, at least, she’s ‘thinking’ Charlie ! ! !

All this talk of eggs is makin’ me hungry.

I was on a bowling team as a kid called The Gutterballs.

They could borrow a term from tennis, l’oeuf (the egg), love!

And the players could be The Goslings.

Why does that little girl look like Linus with a wig??

Hey, that works!

Reminds me of my sons baseball team name, “The Rocket Bulls”.

You have trained them well, young Charles.

In cricket we call it a “duck”…

My fifth grade teacher gave ‘goose eggs’ instead of zeroes. It never offended anyone because she rarely gave them; she’d just threaten to. We liked her.

Oh that’s what a goose egg is!

I thought a goose egg looked like a chicken egg but it wasn’t laid by a hen.

Somehow, I don’t think that name is gonna draw the crowds.

on the other hand they seem to be embracing their status rather than resenting it

In tennis, “love” comes from the French “l’oeuf”. The egg.

Set the expectations low and then (hopefully) exceed them.

Cool name, sis.

They could have a cool egg mascot. That would crack people up, if they get the yolk..

They are popular on Easter Sunday

The Goose Eggs though might be a good team. That reminds me of a local peanut marketing company in town known as Cromers, The Worst Peanut in Town. When the company was founded there were already many peanut companies named Perfect, Best, Greatest, Unique, all good superlatives. But Cromer didn’t want his good peanuts to have to compete with all the others, so he called his peanut the worst in town. That caught the town’s attention, Cromers became a success and now it’s the only peanut company in town.

Cute name

I love this whole arc, with Chuck getting to be a mentor without the baggage of his reputation. Inspired concept.

The round head has something that attract red haired girls.

Is it really so bad, Charlie Brown? Maybe your team could be a defensive juggernaut and it could be your opponents who keep getting goose eggs.

Forward thinking young lady.

Lots of goose eggs but very few Golden Eggs

No worse than Mudhens (my apologies to Toledo)

A goose egg is also what you get when the ball hits you on the head.

I don’t understand why Charlie Brown is so determined to keep doing something he knows he is no good at, in the hope that he will eventually succeed. It makes at least a bit more sense to keep doing something you know you are never going to be good at just because you enjoy doing it and don’t care that you won’t ever succeed.

these zeros could end up heroes

It’s already a wild goose chase.
