Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for August 22, 2016

could this kind of be the precursor to Lucy “catching” a fly ball?

Come on Snoopy. At least he didn’t tripped with you.

Now we know how/why Snoopy learned to play baseball…self defense!

This is why Charlie Brown became a pitcher.

Then, you should have caught the ball. After all, you said you had it.

No.

Well, Snoopy, maybe next time you won’t sit directly behind someone who’s in the middle of playing baseball. If you had moved out of the way, you wouldn’t have gotten bonked on the head!

Snoopy should have known the kind of player CB is and caught it himself.

Charlie Brown, you bonkhead…

“It really discourages me when I get bawled out by a dog…My own dog, no less!”

OUCH!

Wait until he’s your shortstop!
