Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for February 04, 2023

she got it under wraps

That still was nice of her.

How many layers did you put on Lucy ? The hockey stick is twice as big now.

Yeah.. that was too predictable. CB should’ve seen that coming.

You should know Lucy by now, Chuck!

Now it’s a goalie stick

Now it’ll whack players and pucks.

Oy! Chuck should have known not to trust Lucy!

She is nothing, if not thorough.

well-meaning people who don’t know what they’re doing

Wowza!

A little too much Charlie Brown?……

I bet his hockey playing is not any better than his baseball playing. (And until this strip I don’t remember seeing anything about Charlie playing hockey.)

Now it’s a goalie stick :-)

most excellent

“Some tape” Lucy?

It is a DIFFERENT stick. Note the enlarged end of the handle. That is a plastic piece that fits on the end, that wasn’t there in Charlie Brown’s stick.

Note that otherwise, we are probably talking 20+ rolls of tape applied to the stick. I doubt Lucy’s father had that much “black” tape.

It’s the thought that counts.

Have you considered being a goalie?

When I was a kid in Maine, back in the 50s, most of the other kids’ hockey sticks looked like that.
