Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 03, 2022

Snoopy likes the taste of catgut!

That’s not a tantrum. 3/10 on the John Mcenroe scale

Sound reasoning, Snoopy,

I remember once he destroyed a racket after double-faulting, then returned it to the manufacturer, writing, “Gentlemen, I am returning under separate cover a defective tennis racket.”

You need to get Schroeder to play some appropriate mood music Snoopy.

Ah, the days of the wooden racket.

Snoopy should try pickleball as I hear it is easier to play.

CRUNCH!

I kept my wooden Jack Kramer’s well in the 1980’s. Finally switched to ceramic. Skipped the Wilson metal ones that were all the rage.

Wooden rackets are something Snoopy can really sink his teeth into.

And there it is – sorest loser on the court.

Snoopy needs to get some squeaky toys.

The Count agrees. Time for a new arc.

Is that legal, CB??

I’ve never really been a tennis player, but I did take a tennis class in college as part of a compulsory physical education credit. Actually, it may have been half tennis and half badminton. Anyway, I got the cheapest wooden racket that I could find for the course. Had it for years, but never used it for tennis after that.

♫ Porgie, tire-biter, just a student like me…♫

I never used a metal racket until I started playing racquetball…

How about switching to golf?

It’s better than biting his opponent. Especially if they have a no biting policy. He could be euthanized!

Do they even make wooden rackets anymore?

…also, they bend when one bounces it off the court too zealously. (not that I ever did that, uh uh…)

Say “Tennis Temper Tantrums” 5 times fast

When I used to play tennis, I used a wooden racket for years. Never used a metal racket. I was poor growing up and I remember being laughed at for using a wooden racket from the 1960s one time (in a match in the 90s and I was older). Don’t ever make fun of a poor guy with a wooden tennis racket… I watched a lot of tennis in the 70s… Today, forget it. I am way out of shape.

Full metal jacket

Has any human players showed anger on the court by biting his racket?

Damn, I think the last player to use a wooden racket was Jimmy Connors. And even HE eventually switched to a more modern racket before he finally retired

Never played Tennis but did play racquetball in my younger years. Anything other than a wooden racket is an abomination.

The basic instinct kick in when in distress, alright.

I played my Rod Laver until I got a Head T-1000 in the early 70’s.
