Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 08, 2024

I like that word.

Gotta get some testing in there.

Sounds like the score of some of your games, Charlie Brown.

Classic Sally!

Given the on-field performances of Charlie Brown and his team, I think the error leans far closer to typical than graphical (thankfully).

It’s your team Charlie Brown.

Stop reading the sports section, it’s all fake news.

The other team didn’t show up ?

The way I figure it, K means ‘struck out’ in baseball scoring. K also means thousand, or a grand in money speak.

So, maybe the baseball scorekeeper got confused and wrote that one team struck out eleven grand of batters while the other team only struck out three K?

Maybe they posted the score of your last game, Chuck.

Does that explain some of the ‘news’ reports we get ????

Charlie Brown, are you reading it correctly?

It’s not the score of the last game, it the odds of winning the next game.

Before “typo” was in common parlance.

Isn’t there a mercy rule?

Should be 11 to 3.

You can’t score thousands of points in sports. This is all fake news.

Charlie Brown read something in a newspaper and did not accept it as fact without questioning it. WOW! He’s a lot smarter than most people.

Sorta like what “otter” correct does to some of my texts…

The losing team was pulling pitchers out of what was left of the spectators.

Probly!

Sally uses an “eggcorn” (acorn). It’s a word that is mistakenly used as a soundalike for something else. The most famous eggcorn was coined by Ring Lardner in 1920: “Shut up, he explained.”

I make those all the time

Must’ve played the Sumptown Fightin’ Shlabotniks.

Were they playing your team, Charlie Brown?

Were the White Sox involved?

If was your team Charlie it could be that score

Simple answer: “Charlie Brown was pitching”. Although not sure how his team got 3 runs.

IMO all news is fake news. Unless someone has witnessed for themselves and knows it to be fact, to me it is fake news

I think Sally is right. Even Charlie Brown couldn’t pitch that many home runs!

So, now his team’s in the paper. Not the way he wanted them to be.
