Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown Page #4

---

mound to talk to you,

l stand here like this,

and then l start

to slide backwards.

lf l had cleats,

this obviously wouldn't happen.

We'd have a better team

if we all had cleats

on our shoes.

We'd be a better team

if you had something

under that cap!

l'll bet Babe Ruth had

cleats on her shoes!

Somehow, we've got

to get rid of Lucy,

or we'll never win a game.

l just got a great idea.

lt's too darn hot.

l'm going to go stand in

the shade under that tree.

Try to pitch the ball

so they'll hit it to me

under the tree.

l have a better idea.

Go home and pour yourself

a cold glass of lemonade,

and then sit down

in the kitchen.

Leave the back door open!

l'll pitch the ball

so they'll hit it

through the door,

into the kitchen,

where you'll be having

your cold lemonade!

l wonder

if he was being sarcastic.

What's this?

My fielder's glove

and a pepperoni pizza,

which is going to be

my snack between innings.

What happens if you

get the glove

and the pizza mixed up?

Boy, you must think

l'm really stupid.

Let's not give up,

Charlie Brown.

Remember what they say:

The game isn't over

until the fat lady sings.

Or until the shortstop wakes up.

What would your fantasy

team be, Charlie Brown?

A team that doesn't have

you on it.

l should never ask

questions like that.

Hey, manager!

Let's see them try to hit one

over the fence now!

l'm ready for him!

Ugh!

Do you think we can get

the ball back

and leave her

on the other side of the fence?

Lucy is driving me crazy.

How can we get her off the team?

l'll show you.

Get lost! Go away!

We don't need you! Go home!

Tell me who you guys

are yelling at,

and l'll help you

get rid of him.

How could we have lost

Why couldn't the score

at least have been 53 to 1?

We were robbed.

Hi, Chuck.

You've been over here

and watched some of our games,

haven't you?

Sure, l'm one

of your biggest fans.

You have a great team.

Well, good.

You should come over today

because it's

fan appreciation day.

When you go to some ball parks

on fan appreciation day,

they always give away caps

and T-shirts and jackets

and gloves and bats

and everything.

Hi, fan.

We appreciate you.

You mean, that's it?

We have a low budget, Chuck.

Can't talk now, Chuck.

l'm having trouble

with my right fielder.

You, too?

Sir, why do l always

have to play right field?

lt's traditional.

The worst player always

plays right field,

and you're our

worst player.

But you wear

your glove well, Marcie.

Thank you, sir.

l really appreciate

the compliment.

Hey, Chuck.

l'm calling to see

if you're interested

in trading right fielders.

l hate baseball.

Wow. Of course l'd trade
