Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 23, 2024

Slide!

he can’t tell you Austin, he is usually knocked off!

This team needs smaller stuff.

Austin you get down by striking out 3 batters.

Reminds me of the old classic joke. How do you get down from an elephant? You don’t. You get down from a duck.

Call K.C. And The Sunshine Band.

Question: Can the kid throw the ball past the Pitcher’s Mound? Halfway to the Plate? How far can he throw?

You need to walk down, Austin.

Presumably the same way you got up.

Oh come on, for pity sake! The pitcher has to have more mass than the ball!

Austin is lucky then lowered the mound in 1969.

When my younger brother started to play baseball (around 5 or 6), the adults pitched to the kids, but one of the kids stood on the pitcher’s mound for defensive purposes. I remember watching one game where my brother was the defensive player on the mound and the batter cracked a seriously hard line drive right at my brother’s head. I thought he was going to die. Amazingly, he snapped his glove up and caught it. I was impressed.

Abseil, Austin.

I love this story line. These kids are adorable.

You just walk down, that’s all!

He might need some repelling ropes.

Very carefully.

How do you get down? EMT’s carry you!

He can lay down and then roll off the mound

Poor Austin, he didn’t read the fine print. This position is for the whole season. He doesn’t get down till the snows come and he can slide down.

Wait a minute. Charlie is passing the coveted pitching position to someone else? Is he taking team managing seriously?

Another humiliation for the baseball coach :(

Call the famous helicopter pilot Woodstock and his Snoopycopter. If they can get someone off a barn roof, a pitcher’s mound will be easy.

T-Ball started in the late 1950’s and started spreading in the 1960’s. Kids that age (generally up to age 7) can’t throw a strike nor can a kid that age hit a moving pitch. It’s usually replaced at a slightly older age by “coach pitch” who is trying hard to throw easy and to hit the kids bats. Kids finally graduate to their peers pitching against them. No T-Ball in this Peanuts cartoon.

With the pitcher’s ladder of course!

Have Charlie Browns’ parents noticed as yet that he is gone?

We’ll call in an air evac.

Play that funky music, white boy!

Watch Austin pitch better than Charlie ever has in his whole life.

Snoopy will take you down in his helicopter

As you pass 75 heading for 80, height appears much more exaggerated than at 65. I’m having trouble climbing the curb to pick up after my dogs.

Same way you got up there.

Well, first you need to find a goose…!

I’m afraid he will be lucky to get a pitch past the mound never mind the plate.

Best way off the mound in peanuts :Linedrive that causes you to spin in the air , losing items of clothing , and landing off the mound .

They may need to install a chair lift.
