Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 01, 2024

Last month I discovered Lawn Darts are being sold again, but this incarnation of the things aren’t the lethal mini-javelins of old; they have some kind of weight at the front end.

A metal one would have sent Charlie Brown to the ER.

Sneakers for horses.

Charlie, you’re supposed to stand behind the peg.

You still shouldn’t throw it at people.

So they bounce farther off of heads?

They’re for athletic horses to wear in the gym.

Charlie Brown should be grateful those weren’t hand grenades.

Had a good friend who was a farrier and horses do sometimes wear rubber shoes, there’s horseshoe shaped ones like pictured and shoes that cover the whole underside and ones that actually look like shoes and cover the entire foot

Chuck was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

If I remember correctly, it was pretty hard rubber.
