Peanuts by Charles Schulz for May 18, 2014

How heavy is that catcher’s gear?How can he walk?

And inattentive.

Mind you…I can’t see a ball in flight, either.

Where did Charlie Brown learn all those words?

One of the mysteries of “Peanuts” is how the horrible losing streak of Charlie Brown’s baseball team isn’t in any way connected to his hardheaded right fielder.

And Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn most of all!

Charlie Brown, you should watch My Fair Lady:

Higgins:But women are irrational That’s all there is to thatTheir heads are full of cotton, hay and ragsThey’re nothing but exasperating irritating, vacillatingCalculating, agitating maddening and infuriating hags

@pelican: which is why typically the biggest kid was the catcher. Plus he could block the plate and keep the ball from getting past

I don’t suppose that ball will knock any sense into Lucy.

I know many people like Lucy. I am one of them. : ))

She’s a stubborn, lemon faced crab.

Why hard headed?

Plus Lucy’s career batting average is .oooooooo1………

For those interested, there’s a subtle “Peanuts” reference in today’s “Hi and Lois” strip. (7th panel; hiandlois.com)

That was no home run before it hit Lucy on the head.
