Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 18, 2011

What makes you think those weren’t tears of joy, Lucy?

Lucy seems convinced those were real tears.

Of course, Catfeet—after all, it’s all about her! When Lucy’s in pain, everybody suffers!

You’ll make a good husband someday, Charlie.

Today we’d call that a repetitive stress injury (like carpal tunnel syndrome), though I think “tennis elbow” is still a common term.

I think Charlie Brown’s team is probably better off without her. They might even win a game.

There’s no crying in baseball !!!!

Charlie Brown didn’t cry over his LITTLE LEAGER’S ELBOW.

Poor Lucy!

LOL xxx

yeah you are right, charlie brown.

Inwardly he’s thinking “YES!” because if you’ve read other strips, Lucy can’t catch the ball even when its heading right towards her.

Where is Peanut??? I think that thise were tears of joy because he easily stopped crying.

Nice trick.

What you people don’t realize is that Lucy with her ego will make a great politician one day. She’s right up there with Attila the Hen. She’ll be president one day.

“GOOD GRIEF!”

I take it that this was an Academy Award moment for Charlie Brown. Inwardly, he’s probably glad to be rid of the “no ball playing fussbudget” for a week!

And what’s worse than washer-woman’s elbow? That’s right… Tennis balls!
