Peanuts by Charles Schulz for April 08, 2020

harsh

Only you could.

Charlie, you won and that’s that. Don’t worry a thing about the other team. Their loss is their problem and not yours.

Don’t worry about it CB. According to Star Trek: TNG lore, baseball will only last another 22 years as a national sport, with the last World Series being played in 2042. Perhaps this year, with a curtailed season (if any) will be the beginning of a long slide into irrelevance.

Charile Brown enjoy the win as you don’t win often.

Bless him, a truly kind-hearted soul

seriously, CB?

And that’s just how the other team wants you to feel. Guilty for putting in a squirt no one could pitch to. Of course, they are just sorry they didn’t think of it.

You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t.

I get mad when I’m losing and bored when I’m winning.

Paralyzed by empathy… Don’t see that much in this world. Maybe we need more CB’s.

You won, Charlie Brown. Don’t feel guilty, feel like a winner. You’ve got several decades, so savor that moment. Chances are, it’ll be years before you win again.

Savour the feeling (of winning) while it lasts, CB.

I’m sure the other team feels horrible, since just about everyone else has been able to beat Charlie’s team.

Well, just imagine how Cleveland felt, loosing the 2016 World Series TO THE CUBS!

When you lose to the worst team in the league.. it’s pretty demoralizing.

Now they’re just like the Washington Generals, having won a game.

Winners can’t afford to be compassionate when the way you win is by defeating someone else.

can’t win for losing – can’t lose for winning = a truly weird conundrum

You have a good heart, Charlie Brown. You KNOW what it feels like to lose and can put yourself in another’s shoes.

The better team has won. It is time to let it sink in.

Hmmm, I know the feeling. Good kid, CB :-)

At least Charlie Brown won’t have to deal with guilt very often.

Winning is a habit. Unfortunately so is losing

That’s because CB used the 1951 Bill Veeck trick of putting 3’7" midget Eddie Gaedel in his lineup. He walked, too, because no pitcher could throw into his small strike zone. This is not a long term solution, Charlie Brown.

Charlie has empathy. Sadly, the other characters do no.

Go with that feeling of guilt. It’s appropriate.

Maybe you can help the other team’s kids next year when they all start kindergarten. You are that kind of kid, Charlie Brown.

Don’t lose any sleep over this, Charlie Brown. Your victory will be short-lived anyway.

It are feelings such as this as to why I love Charlie Brown the way I do. Thinking of others before himself.

“It was a dark and empathetic night.”
