Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 14, 2021

but Charlie Brown has only two shoes… how are you give a third strike to get the batter out?

Does not need more then one shoe if Lucy catches it for the out.

Naaah. Batters would just lace hits with them.

Lucy’s been waiting for the other shoe to drop.

This strip was on my Peanuts lunchpail in the 70s.

Lucy ran for a shoe? Lucy never, ever runs. Especially for a baseball. She usually just stands there.

Could Charlie get a knuckle shoe over the plate?

Well you can do anything but lay off of my blue suede shoes

Way before we found out what throwing a shoe at someone meant in some cultures…

What field position is Lucy playing? Second base or shoe stop?

I still don’t understand, how does Charlie Brown’s clothes just literally blow off him every time shot (it’s a Cricket term, I don’t know what it’s called in Baseball) is hit at him.

I wish they’d include the original print date of these old comics. I know I’ve seen this one before. I don’t remember if it’s in a Peanuts book I have or if I saw it in the newspaper when I was a kid.

.Repeat.

How do his clothes keep flying off?

Now pitching for the Red Sox…Charlie Brown.

Seems like the batters always hit CB’s pitches for line drives. Should be easy outs or even DPs.

Lucy, pump it home!

( ͡ ﹏ʖ ͡  )

Wow, good for you, Lucy! Maybe this one thing could change your outlook on life for the better? # loud laughing heard from the audience #

Phil Niekro lives.

Amazing how she’ll chase a flying shoe, but let the fly balls land behind her…

Sock it to him?

Charlie Brown has never pitched a third strike. I think he should have Lucy pitch — she’d intimidate the batter.

Shoe, Lucy, shoe. Go away!

Is that what Shoeless Joe Jackson did with his shoes?

I wonder if CB has dreams about being in his underwear on the pitchers mound in front of thousands of people?

Would a spit shined shoe be a spit ball?

yay throw the shoe but if you do if you get hit it would hurt

I was thinking of this strip when I read yesterday’s installment. Never thought there’d be this to follow up.
