Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 25, 2018

Lucy, you missed the winter Olympics by a whisker!

Put me in, coach. I’m ready to ski today. Put me in, coach. I’m ready to ski today. Put me in, coach. I’m ready to ski today. Look at me. I can ski center field.

Back when this Sunday comic came out, the only event for her would be ladies figure skating. Cindy, my email pen pal should know.

Looks like Lucy has an imagination to rival Calvin.

That would mean they were ahead in the ninth once. Ol’ Chuck must be misremembering.

It’s funny how his memories of summer baseball always seem better than the reality of those games.

“..and hit a line drive up the middle that knocked me out of my clothes.”

Face it, cross country skiing just does not stir the imagination enough.

Must be one of those multipurpose ballparks.

Lucy grew up and changed her name to Joanne Worley and enjoyed a brief popularity on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In

Ah, Charlie Brown….it’s like Hawkeye once told Charles in an episode of M*A*S*H (paraphrasing): We insulted you, humiliated you, but you never lost your dignity.

The batter goes to extraordinary lengths to disrupt the pitcher’s concentration.

I bet she went after Nancy Kerrigan.

There are some things that you use differently in different seasons.
