Peanuts by Charles Schulz for November 27, 1983
Transcript:
Charlie Brown is looking out the window. He says,"I can't believe it."<BR><BR> He goes to the bookcase in the living-room. He says,"I'll have to look it up...."<BR><BR> He sits on the floor with a book. He reads,"Archery, basketball, boxing, canoeing, cycling, fencing..."<BR><BR> He stands and continues reading. He reads,"Gymnastics, swimming, diving, track and field..."<BR><BR> He walks off from the phone saying,"I even called the library."<BR><BR> He stands on the doorstep and calls,"I hate to tell you this, but..."<BR><BR> He concludes,"There's no chariot racing in next year's olympics...." He watches as Snoopy, dressed in full Roman attire, stands in a chariot that is drawn by Woodstock and friends.<BR><BR>
I think the last time there was Olympic chariot racing was during the games back in Greco-Roman antiquity.
