"What Kind Of Snoopy Christmas Decorations?"
 
Anybody see the strip where Peppermint Patty accidentally hits Snoopy with the baseball during a baseball game and Charlie Brown chews her out and he and his team leave? That's a hilarious piece! I think that's the only time Charlie Brown really chewed anybody out. Most of the time he didn't have the stomach to do that. How about when he railed against people who put Christmas decorations up before Halloween?
 
 
-Is that the one where Linus and CB carried Snoopy out on a stretcher, and he thought "Carry me gently men, I'm a superstar!" (or something close to that). - that was when CB kicked Lucy off the team and she distracted Snoopy so that he got hit on the head with a fly ball. He was talking about the strip that was rerun this Sunday. I also like it when Charlie Brown occasionally "gets tough." How about the time he won Rerun's marbles back from Joe Agate? That was a bit disconcerting for me because there was no "gotcha" at then end; CB was plainly and simply a winner. But once I got over that, I thought it was a hilarious story, with great allusions (to Shane). -I loved the "Joe Agate" strips. I think CB came out the hero in that one, because it was a matter of justice. It wasn't just his desire to win at something (ANYTHING!) that motivated him in this one.
