There’s a sequence of dailies in, I think, 1979, where Charlie Brown had been in a hospital and Lucy made a promise to never pull the ball away again if he got better. I will not ruin what happened for those who haven’t seen it yet, and I ask everyone else also refrain from spoiling it.
Wow. The Daddy’s Home strip did something related to this today. What are the odds of doing that on the same day.
Seriously though. I don’t know of anyone more gullible than him. Lucy is such a liar. She ALWAYS says she won’t pull it away and she ALWAYS DOES! And he NEVER learns! He was only able to kick it when Snoopy made him invisible in the one animated cartoon.

Have any of you read today’s “Daddy’s Home”? (Is Lucy even planning to upload this to YouTube?)

Instant Replay in 1967 when this was published. Relatively new, huh?

Will you never learn, Charlie Brown?

The annual pull the ball away trick with a chance to see it on instant replay even in the pre-YouTube years!

I would love to someday see the first time this ever happened.

That’s what I’ve always wondered. I can’t understand why some people like to see meanness in their entertainment.

The one “surprise” I’d like to see is Charlie running up to kick the ball and ends up kicking Lucy instead!.Accidentally, of course…

If you keep on doing what you’ve always done, you’ll keep on getting what you’ve always gotten.

To see a good rendition of this bit, Family Guy did a take on it where Peter “forces” Lucy to hold the ball until CB kicks it….too funny…..

I wonder if Charlie Brown ever did kick the ball before Charles Schulz’s passing.
