Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for April 09, 2021

Oh Charlie Brown, to be Charlie Hustle ya gotta make the catch.

how embarrassing

You had the ball but it bounced out. Next time use both hands.

“¡Yo la tengo! ¡Yo la tengo!”

“Er, yes!”

Gotta hand it to CB for that! :D

Sun was in my eyes!

If that scene happened in cartoons, the ball would have landed on Charlie’s head.

In the later strips, that would have been Lucy.

To paraphrase Chief Brody, “You’re gonna need a(n even) bigger glove!”

Butterfingers!

This strip and fourth panel attitude really shows the influence of Percy Crosby’s “Skippy” on Schulz. He loved that strip.

Hmmm, sounds like a Lucy excuse.

Happens to the best of them. “Robbed home run turns into go ahead in the park homer.”

Remember Super Dave Osborne? “I got it! I got it! I don’t got it!” [CRASH!]
