Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 10, 2023

Well Chuck, she finally told the truth, did you maybe imagine she would lie as usual and hold the ball in place?

What?

Lucy has pulled away the football, that means football season has started.

CB stopped listening to Lucy long ago.

You can’t blame her this time because she told you what to expect.

Remember, gentlemen, when a young lady asks you for a commitment, that’s just like Lucy telling Charlie Brown “I’ll hold the football, and you come running up and kick it!”

Maybe he thought you were lying, since you’re so good at it.

OK, so she’s thinking like a woman. But, seriously, does C. Brown qualify as a man?

I didn’t even read properly what she said for the first time.

Just in time for NFL opening week…

Why does Charlie always upend himself and land on his back with a wump? What would’ve he done had he kicked that oblong ball of air? Much the same, perhaps?

I think Mr. Schulz did regret Charlie Brown never did kick the football.

That’s what Lucy always does every football season.

Lucy just admitted she was going to take the ball away and Charlie Brown still tried to kick it? Man, he is so hopeless.

When I was a child in elementary school and was first reading “Peanuts,” I could never understand how missing the football could make Charlie Brown end up on his back. I like to think that I am no longer that literal. Yep. That’s what I like to think.

Maybe he was hoping it was Opposite Day.

Charlie Brown trying to kick the football that Lucy holds reminds me of the life lesson that told me if the same result keeps happening, over and over, do something else, unless you like it.

“All lies and jest

Still a man hears what he wants to hear

And disregards the rest…"

The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel.

And so it begins …….

AAUGH ! WUMP !

YESSSSSSS!! Bengals opening day. And before some nit picking nay sayer says it… The Count has a bad hoo doo feeling about it.

Busted. Took me too long to ‘get’ it.

What’s that quote about familiarity again?

most excellent

Ah Yes another flat on my back and kill myself football kick and position

Schroeder was the male avenger!

Another sign fall is coming.

Nope, we don’t listen all that well. In fact most old guys have hearing aids, not because they can’t hear, but because they can turn off their wives:)

Did you say something, Lucy?

It’s amazing he never had to go to the hospital with a concussion

I don’t know which is worse — Lucy pulling the football away, or Charlie Brown’s kite exploding when he FINALLY got it airborne.

I was recovering from back surgery when I read that one. Had to put the book down, afraid I’d mess up my back from laughing.

This brings back memories. I can’t wait for the weather to cool down so I can toss the old pigskin around.

Yeah, pretty much.

Time marches, every so reliably, onward….Spring Training and Baseball return come 156 more days…..and this current baseball season still has abt 20 games or so to play for the teams ……

It was an honest mistake on Chuck’s part, since women never mean what they say.

CB’s a glutton for punishment.

That is one of the things I never like about the comics or TV shows, Lucky being a brat and pulling the ball, poor CB must have been sore for days

Am I the only one seeing empty speech balloons today?

Charlie Brown demonstrates the force of habits.

You don’t even have to be a man to know that Lucy is not worth listening to!

She was giving directions. Men don’t like asking for directions.

Still true, even when it’s profitable guys may not listen:
