The PROBLEM is, they were kicking in summer, not fall. There are probably atmospheric explanations for this most unfortunate (hee, hee) event (snicker).

Lucy has moved the goalposts here. Her promise was to NEVER pull the football away. Now she acts as if this one time is enough. She’ll pull it away next year (https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1980/11/16) and for many years after that.
