Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 16, 2022

first

just get more dirt CB!

Charlie’s next words: “Good grief”

They better hurry up, Spring Training starts on the 17th. GO LA DODGERS

At least Chuck seems to be commanding authority here. I like how they all snap to it when he orders them to put back his dirt. Even Lucy obeys him.

I like how even Lucy shrinks in the wake of Charlie Brown’s anger.

Well, he almost got it. Too bad CB can’t see he can be a real boss when he tries.

What a mess!

You can take comfort that at least they listened to you and returned the dirt…

I’m just surprised that any of them were willing to do what he asked.

At least they brought it back.

So glad to see Charlie Brown speak up even though his words are not respected.

Pigpen could have restored it with no help.

for once charlie takes a firm stand and people listen! YaY Charles Brown

It looks more like a cockroach mound :0

If it helps you win the season then….

Where’s the World Famous Groundskeeper when you need him?

I had friends back in college who were the grounds crew for a major league baseball team. They said they would spend hours working on the pitcher’s mound to get it just right – for every game. We’re talking within an inch all around, plus the texture. It had to pass the muster of Tom Seaver, who was very OCD demanding on those things.

He should stand up for himself in situations away from the pitcher’s mound too.

Both today and yesterday I couldn’t help noticing how wrong the mound looks. The need to make the drawing in two dimensions instead of three really did Sparky no favors on this one.

A rare moment of decisiveness from Ol’ Chuck.

Smooth it out with the Zamboni.

C’mon, Charlie Brown—you really thought an ad hoc committee could do a good job?

King of his mountain.

At least they tried!

Oh well, Chuck… you’ll always have misty water-color memories of the way it was.

NOW they listen to their manager.

Good grief Charlie, at least the team has sprung into action after the grunting by rhe captain. That’s a huge improvement.
