Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 18, 2021

She’s giving her ball a bawling out

Hmmmmm!!! Reminds me of the movie castaway,where the guy tries to talk to the ball!!!

“And like a rubber ball, I come bouncin’ back to you”

I remember seeing this one back in 1974, when it first appeared.

I think she strikes fear into the hearts of beach balls everywhere.

While these characters are eternally children, it’s fun to think about them as adults. Wikipedia says Sally was born (and makes her first appearance) in 1959. That would make her 62 today. What would she have done with her life? I’ve seen fan fic strips of Calvin (of Calvin & Hobbes) as as a grown-up but never of the Peanuts characters. Has anyone seen any?

Looks like Sally is taking lessons from Lucy.

Good grief…

She will make a great mother some day.

She can get upset. Remember when she missed trick or treat, because of Linus, and The Great Pumpkin? Yikes!

With powers like that, Sally needn’t worry so much about doing well in school.

Timing the waves doesn’t hurt, either…

She went Lucy on it.

Sally’s face is pretty scary in row 2 panel 2- yikes!

Accio beach ball!

Charlie Brown: I never knew science and physics worked that way.

I would think the sound waves from her loud voice would drive the ball further away

She knows how to lay down the law.

It’s the way she says things that scares you…..

Could Sally actually be a Sith?

I wonder what Sally would have done if the ball didn’t come back…

Hmm. Great Lakes? Ball didn’t have its passport and got sent back when halfway there.

She’s been taking lessons from Lucy!!

She’s good…

If only everything was that easy!

Somebody should have told my Dad that when he swam across the lake to get mine back when I was about 4. The next day it got punctured on the fence next door.

Sally is spending to much time with Lucy it seems!

Charles Schultz created a comic that is a classic. It doesn’t grow old because it speaks to the common condition of man
