Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 23, 2019

thank you, Lucy, for that distraction

Charlie Brown, don’t bother with her, take the compliment and keep playing.

Do catchers talk to batters like that?

So, cute fingers is why you can’t pitch a ball game, Charlie Brown? I guess we’ll go with that.

That is a heckuva thing to say.

I always notice people’s hands. I like hands.

Charlie “Cute Fingers” Brown…

Why isn’t she in the outfield?

You’d have been better off with Rollie Fingers, Chuck…

She forgot to cover her mouth with her glove when speaking on the mound.

And the umpire yelled “BALK!”

This may be the Jays problem. Although, most of them have bleeding fingers…

Let’s all sing it: ♪ Love is in the air ♪

Lucy, Queen of the non-sequitur

Doesn’t take much to throw Chuck off his game!

Women find Fingers interesting ? I wonder why ?

Indeed…

Sure you can, Charlie Brown. ML pitchers are always “getting cute” with their pitches. That necessarily gives them “cute fingers”….

Gotta hand it to Lucy for sheer irrelevance.

Better mark this as a red-letter day Charlie Brown that Lucy ever said anything nice to you…

Outfield shift in conversation in effect.

I thought that that’s what an opposing player says to put him off not his own teammate?
