Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 05, 2024

That’s someone who has seen Charlie Brown’s team.

Don’t give up CB, the White Sox may need you someday.

If Joe Shlabotnik could do it, Chuck can.

Only one reply from the peanuts gallery?

Who made that comment?

Third day in the classroom, and you could cut the meanness with a knife! Tension builds…

It’s comments like that from my father, my bullies, and my teachers that seriously screwed me up as a child. If it weren’t for them, I wouldn’t be enjoying the anxiety, depression, obesity, OCD, PTSD, low self-esteem, and poor self-image issues from which I suffer every day. Who knows how much happier I could have been and how much further I could have gotten in life if they had simply left me alone?

Or maybe follow in his dad’s footsteps and become a barber.

They said “good”.

Maybe you’ll join the Cubs someday.

I just realized, they didn’t go to camp this summer

But you are always on the baseball team, Charlie Brown!

I would love a fan fiction cartoon in which a retired pro takes an interest in Charlie Brown’s love for the game, coaches him into a first class pitcher, and then helps him get into the big leagues. Even better if Charlie got to be hall of fame material. Then he could retire himself and become an announcer or analyst.

But … would he really still be Charlie Brown?

Literally a one in a million makes it to pro sports but a kid can dream.

Who knows, maybe you can improve with time (winkwink)

Shut up Lucy!

We’ve seen your pitching, Charlie Brown. Pick another position or pick another sport. (And stay away from anything involving kicking footballs, too.)

Poor Chuck… a kid can dream at least, can’t he. :j

With around 1100 pro baseball players in the USA, MLB, it takes darned good luck to get to be a player

Fat chance!

Someday he might win a second game and do it without the forfeit which is how he got his lonely win.

And t he one time he hit a home run,the pitcher told him she grooved the pitch on purpose

There actually was a Charlie Brown who pitched in the big leagues – four games for the now-defunct Cleveland Spiders in 1897. He had a career ERA+ of 61 and a WHIP of 1.932.

Forget it, kid. We’ve all seen how you played!

Your reputation precedes you ! ;-)

Try out for the White Sox. They’re desperate for help!

Is that Lucy?

Not even the minor league teams will take you.

I didn’t think the adults in this strip every said anything other than mumbles…

Be quiet, Lucy.

nah that is so wild
