Transcript:
Charlie Brown wears a baseball cap. Peppermint Patty approaches with a piece of paper and asks, "Have you seen our baseball schedule for this year, 'Chuck'?"<BR><BR> Peppermint Patty says, "My team plays your team twelve times . . We slaughter you twice in April, smash you three times in May and run you once in June . ."<BR><BR> Peppermint Patty continues, "We murder you twice in July, annihilate you three times in August and pound you once in September."<BR><BR> Peppermint Patty walks away and says, "It's a great schedule, huh, 'Chuck'?" Charlie Brown replies, "Beautiful!"<BR><BR>
This strip was adapted into the TV special “It’s Arbor Day, Charlie Brown”. Although, some numbers are changed. Patty still tells “Chuck”, they’re scheduled to play 12 times, but instead she says, “We slaughter you twice in April, smash you three times in May, ruin you twice in June, murder you three times in July, annihilate you four times in August and destroy you altogether in September!”, which actually adds up to 15 times! The punchline is also different: instead Charlie Brown says, “My stomach hurts.”
