My brothers all had a bunch of marbles, but they never played for “keeps”. I was weird. I had ONE marble, which I found one day – a sort of frosty white marble with what looked sort of like an air bubble in it. It made me think of a cotton ball inside, which made me think somehow of the cotton gin (something we had just learned about in school) and it’s inventor, Eli Whitney. So I named my marble Eli Whitney (that’s why I say I was weird – who names their marbles?). I still have that marble and it’s just possible that marble helped me to remember the name of the man who invented the cotton gin.

If you can’t afford to pay, you shouldn’t play.

Poor Charlie Brown is hollow-eyed in panel 3. Did he lose his Cats Eye marbles, too?
