Are you referring to the panel where the red ball and blue ball are together and Patty is about to whack the blue one? With her foot on the blue one to hold it in place, when she hits it, the force of the blow will transfer to the red one, driving it away. It’s amazing how far you can drive the opponent’s ball away with a mighty whack—you just have to make sure of your aim so you don’t hit your foot instead of the ball.
From the New York Times, “Listening to Schroeder: ‘Peanuts’ Scholars Find Messages in Cartoon’s Scores” Jan. 13, 2009“When Schroeder pounded on his piano, his eyes clenched in a trance, the notes floating above his head were no random ink spots dropped into the key of G. Schulz carefully chose each snatch of music he drew and transcribed the notes from the score. More than an illustration, the music was a soundtrack to the strip, introducing the characters’ state of emotion, prompting one of them to ask a question or punctuating an interaction.”
Is it possible to incorporate these black and white strips into the My Comics page in order to view them this way rather than the colored version? How do you even find them? (I found it via your link.)
Yes, probably bridge. A day or two ago you could count the number of cards they were holding and it was 13, which would be right for bridge. There have to be two other players that we can’t see, though. This bid of Charlie Brown’s would have to be later in the bidding process, however, since it wouldn’t matter how good a hand another player had with an opening bid.

Ride a cockhorse to Banbury Cross,To see a fine lady upon a white horse;Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes,She shall have music wherever she goes.
