He did eventually get a proper pitcher’s mound, though it never helped his pitching much. This one reminds me of another strip, probably much later, where Lucy offered to use a wood burning kit to burn Charlie Brown’s name into his bat. He eagerly accepts, thinking that he’ll look like a real big league ball player, and Lucy turns his bat into a stick of charcoal.
