Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for November 14, 2020

this may be the first appearance of this gag.

And so it begins… .

A great moment in history!

Is this the only time Lucy didn’t pull the football away?

Good Grief!

Laces out.

And here we have the beginnings of it all… Every autumn… a new season, a new back flip.

The first two times are free. But after that if he doesn’t shell out 75¢ (circa 1952) for a simple peg holder it’s on him

I wonder if that’s ever happened in a real game?

And so, from this day forward, Peanuts Begins transitions into Peanuts Today…..

Be the ball, CB, be the ball.

Chuck ran from the wrong direction. He always runs from right to left.

If Charlie Brown knew then what the future held for him in regards to Lucy and the football, he would lie there for the rest of his life! :)

A legend is born

The irony of Lucy saying she didn’t think this was a good idea…

No wonder adult Charlie Brown ended up in an institution. Too much childhood head trauma.

So this is where it all began…….

❤

Well at least he got to kick it, even if it didn’t go anywhere.

First time Lucy pulls the “pulling the football away to see Charlie Brown land flat on his back” gag. It’s been done before this by Violet, but she was actually afraid he might accidently kick her.

Woah, is the the very FIRST?

A double header. Who’d thunk Charlie Brown actually set himself up for this annual drubbing.

Charlie Brown never learned in 50 years not to trust Lucy.
