Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 22, 2025

That’ll make the turkey terrible.

I tried to organize a professional Hide and Seek tournament, but it was a complete failure.

Good players are hard to find.

After my son’s team won the soccer tournament, the goalkeeper invited the two of us for a party.

It was the father, the son, and the goalie host.

How long does jousting tournament last?

Until knightfall.

I went to see a basketball tournament in Mexico

It was all fun and games until it became Juan on Juan.

There’s a new tennis tournament for English nuns.

It’s called Wimpledon.

I remember a lot of jokes about having things bronzed in comic strips of the 60s, such as Family Circus et al. Only once did I ever actually see it; one of my mom’s friends had her son’s baby shoes bronzed and mounted to a picture frame with a heavy base. Seemed an odd custom to me.

Alive or dead?

They are talking turkey.

Two turkeys talking turkey.

Thanksgiving is several months away anyway.

That sounds like he struck out Schroeder.

(in bowling, three strikes in a row = a turkey; in baseball, three strikes…)

As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could be bronzed.

Yeah, but he won!

LOL!

Your grandfather’s an idiot.

Since this strip is from the 70s, is the turkey a jive turkey?

I’ve had several turkeys when I bowled. Of course that only means that I had three strikes in a row.

The Count still misses Peppermint Patty. :.(

A turkey tournament? Must be a 70s thing I forgot? ;-)

Turkey with Bronze Gravy! MMMMMMMM…….

Bronzing was big for a while

I was a so-so bowler, but I once bowled a turkey. To illustrate how poor my skills were that was my highest game ever. I bowled 134. The last time I bowled was 1988. I wouldn’t even be able to lift the ball now.

It was always funny bowling on post. The teeny-tiniest Asian ladies would have some of the highest scores. The balls took their own sweet time getting to the pins, but the vast majority of the time the women would get a strike. If needed, they invariably picked up the spare.

And this is making me hungry

This was back when bronzing your kid’s first baby shoes was a custom. Electroplating them and mounting them on a stand.
