And remember Snoopy, to ensure the game ends quickly all you have to do is number 2 as the ball rolls through your legs. They may keep playing if you do number 1.
The inventiveness of the early strips made it stand out from the start. Schulz got smoother as he went on, but these are fresh. It’s hard for us to realize what a revelation these were compared to a lot of other strips at the time.

Just grab the ball and run—that’ll end the game right away!

It was such a lame strip these first years, it’s fascinating. I speak as a big fan of what it became.

Just be glad they aren’t playing lawn darts, Snoopy.

Wonder if Mattel ever had a hand in marketing the game? “If it’s Mattel, it’s swell,” its TV commercials said in conclusion.

A beagle standing still while there are balls rolling around? Good luck with that!
