Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 25, 2023

I’m A positive you do need your blood Snoopy, but don’t B negative , I think you’ll be fine, so B positive and get back and play that hockey. Everyone will be o positive so to see AB positive beagle.

He must be playing the Broad Street Bullies.

Only a month since a player was killed on the ice – with a lot of blood …

Come on, it is just a bloody game!

Save your blood, Snoopy.

Good thing you know where your priorities lie, Snoopy!

Snoopy needs what little he has.

I’m very possessive about my blood.

I reffed a soccer game like that, once. But, the fans were not interested in the blood of the players. The fans loved them. The fans were bloodthirsty for ref blood. My partner had only to contend with the coaches, while I had those bloodthirsty fans. Brutal.

Good choice, Snoopy!

Blood does come in handy sometimes…

Good thing he wasn’t refereeing the Jets disaster yesterday.

So do the rest of us.

I took my kids to a hockey game and had to explain people would jump up to watch the fights. I also had to explain why our team from South Carolina was losing so badly to the team from the north. I grew up watching the Chicago Blackhawks in their heyday and this game was cringe-worthy.

Very sensible choice, Snoopy.

I carry little catsup packets with me. It works well enough for me to get away before they figure out the ruse.

Every vampire’s pickup line

See the hockey rink. It is covered with a frozen sheet of man-made liquid. It is called, “blood.” (“The MAD Hockey Primer,” Larry Siegel, writer)

Probably the right call.

They came to see a fight but a hockey game broke out.

With apologies to AC/DC, but if you want blood, look somewhere else.

Hockey is too close to traditional tribal warfare. They’re even armed. Football and soccer are at least gentler than that.

Moe: Did he say blood?

Curly: I’m anemic!!
