Peanuts by Charles Schulz for February 10, 2022

Aside form Tierra del Fuego, Argentina and Nunavut, Canada, what hospitable area in the world has snow in the summertime? sure there’s also Antarctica, but work with me here.

The sentient pitcher’s mound! I’d forgotten.

looks like the mound has an attitude…

Who needs snow when you have CBA negotiations.

We had the 6, the 7 and the 8 from Sally. What about 9?

Mound, be glad you deal only with little kids who haven’t started to chew tobacco and spit it out on the mound. The Pro Baseball mounds must be something awful to be on, after years of use and spitting.

Hard to imagine the amound of misery!

What is the original publishing date for this one?

Not Syracuse as snow only falls there October through April. Perhaps Siberia?

Never underestimate the ground beneath your feet!

Why is Charlie Brown always so eager to play a sport that he’s terrible at playing?

One more month until the baseball season starts, but there has to be Spring training if there is no lockout still going on in Major League Baseball.

38 days until Spring…

Count your blessings. You could have been first base and repeated stomped on throughout the games.

I’m new here and I kind of know Snoopy but since when did innominate objects talk

Even the pitchers mound hates good old Charlie Brown.

Maybe charlie brown’s mound can chat with Sally’s school

Introvert mound of dirt?

Yikes even the mound thinks CB doesn’t have a prayer

Panel 4: “Maybe I’ll be lucky and it’ll snow all summer.”

I wouldn’t mind that because: (1) I would rather have snow than the miserable heat and humidity; (2) baseball is excruciatingly boring. I’ll take football and hockey.

You have to admire Charlie Brown’s enthusiasm for baseball, if not his skill at it.

Maybe Charlie Brown can feed it a Mounds bar.

Not even a miserable piece of mound wants Charlie Brown.

The 24/7 snow on the tops of Mount Kilimanjaro.

First a school building and now this? Peanuts panpsychism.

It’s not the pitcher’s mound. His teammates piled up all their uniforms in the center of the field after the laste game.

The eternal optimist.

I think there is a lesson here. See how much he still looks forward to playing even though he loses?

Is it just me, or is CB’s head disproportionately large in the 2nd panel…
