"THIS is what's been beating you in all those fights?" Lucy asks as she and Linus walk up to Snoopy, who wears a nose guard and sits on the ground.<br> <br>; "You look ridiculous!" she announces to Snoopy.<br> <br> "Whoever heard of fighting a dog with a boxing glove on his nose?" she asks as Linus helps her out on a pair of gloves. "He's the champ, Lucy...If you're going to beat him, you're going to have to use some strategy..." Linus warns.<br> <br> "I'll use some strategy, all right! I'll knock his block off!!" Lucy leans towards Snoopy.<br> <br> She takes a swipe at him. Snoopy avoids her fist and thinks, "Y'gotta hit me first, sister!"<br> <br> There is a big tussle. Both appear in a cloud of dust.<br> <br> Pow! Wham! Linus watches the struggle. His hair stands on end.<br> <br> Bang! whap! pow! socko! ouch! oof! leggo! yipe! Linus jumps back from the scene.<br> <br> Linus looks at Snoopy and Lucy, dizzily seated on the ground. Lucy wears Snoopy's glove on her nose, while Snoopy has the boxing gloves.<br> <br>
