Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 16, 2020

shouldn’t Charlie Brown be seeing a psychiatrist — which doesn’t pay 5¢ per session — about this?

That’s the punchline to a Schroeder joke…during a Beethoven concert, the guys playing the largest violins snuck out to a bar…suddenly, it was the bottom of the Ninth and the basses were loaded.

I assume that “last of the ninth” is a baseball reference.

I’m surprised that he isn’t mentioning that the doc’s head looks like a baseball…

Yep, last of the ninth, bases loaded, two outs, and you’re about to strike out.

I think he’s going nuts.

Aw heck Chuck, you haven’t even made it to the seventh inning stretch.

It is. Charlie does need some interests beyond baseball. It’s not good to have a one-track mind.

Or it could go extra innings?

(Consulting with a specialist) He says the moon came out last night. He says it came at him like a fast ball.

down by one run, two outs, three balls, two strikes with nobody on. do you:

1. take a commercial break

2. have a sudden cloudburst rain delay

3. have a fan run on the field and has to be escorted off

4. watch the pitcher hit a seagull with a fast pitch – feathers everywhere

5. have the batter back out of the box to glare at pitcher, dust off sweaty hands, check the 1st base coach for bunt signal, then step into the box, hesitate and then do it all over again.

Whenever i’m cracking up i reach for the first of the fifth.

Game could end at the top of the ninth if the team with the most points so far is the one coming up to bat.

I think CB’s mind has gone to the dugout

I barely remember this annoying arc and can see why…

No, you’re not cracking up… just coming apart at the seams!

At least he’s not talking to Lucy.

I love the peanuts comics.
