Legendary baseball player admits to steroids.:
It's sad when players you followed for years come out and admit they were on the juice. As one official puts it "Wah-wah-wah-wawa-wah."

It disturbed me that I actually saw that episode playing out in my head as I read it.

Such a shame, the one baseball player I really looked up to now comes out with this. It really shows how deeply steroids has become involved with baseball.

What sort of role model can Charlie be to Rerun now?

Charlie Brown on roids!?! I'll believe that when Tom Cruise apologizes to Brooke Shields.

I'll believe when Cruise comes out of the closet.

Joe Shlabotnik was clean. This I am sure of.

Of course if he was juicing, one has to wonder how far he might have kicked that football had Lucy ever held it still, and why he never went into a roid rage when she pulled it away. Or when the little red~headed girl didn`t send him a valentine. Or the umpteenth time his dog embarrassed him by being so weird. Hell, we may have just stopped another Columbine. I can hear Linus as he drags his blanket full of ammo, "I don`t know Charlie Brown. You realize the police have guns too, right?" and Charlie Brown with a Rambo headband replying, "Shut up, blanket boy. It`s go time".

How can Charlie possibly afford to pay for performance enhancing drugs? After all, we all know that he and his teammates play for peanuts...

OUCH! That one actually hurt Judge!

I think Charlie had to try something. We all know Snoopy is one shady character. That woodstock, well, he just can't be trusted. Charlie has gone a lot of years without throwing a strike. He got caught and admitted it, unlike some other baseball player that we all know about, hell, he lies to the grand jury.

What sort of role model can Charlie be to Rerun now? well, i think that's an issue that the van pelts need to deal with. especially since it seems that his brother linus is a greenie pusher.

Take me out to the ball game, take me out with the crowd, buy me some PEANUTS and Cracker Jack, I don't care if I never get back.......(all right, I'll stop. But I want the wrongful persecution of an American icon to stop also.)

If I counted on a team "loaded" with the likes of Lucy (probably a clubhouse lawyer), Snoopy (who always seems to "dog it") and Pigpen, who loses EVERYTHING in the dirt, I'd be shooting, too! Man, gettin' right with the little red haired girl...Yo, Yo, Yo!!!

gradioc, just so you know, you've gotta watch what you say. I dont personally, but people on here may have had people hurt or killed in Columbine, and speaking of it like that may offend some people. Not trying to be a spoil-sport or anything, just want you to make sure you understand who may be offended deeply by that

posted by zachaweenus at 09:31 PM on September 05, 2006

You know wolfdad I hadn't thought of that. Juicing up for the game is one thing, but getting the body that brings in that little red head fox he is always sniffing after would be the bonus before getting caught,

Can we be sure that this hasn't invaded hockey as well? I think it's all about Snoopy, he's the only one that plays all the sports!

This All makes me wonder... were the rumors about Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty true? It is not inconceivable as she did fall on hard times and overcompensated for her tomboyish upbringing and became a porn star doing several well known collaborations with Doraemon and even a lesbian scence with Hello Kitty. She eventually left porn and now manages a semi pro softball team to support her crack habit.

Kudos to Joey, judge and Ufez.... Very funny comments, gents. I had forgotten Joe Shlabotnik, thanks for jogging my memory.

Peppermint Patty is as queer as a three dollar bill - and you know this, man. Since the mousy one calls her 'sir' I can only assume PP's a top. It would really help Brown's cause if he was even remotely funny once in a while. Side note: If you take out Garfield's imagined dialogue it's a comic strip about a desperately lonely Jon Arbuckle talking to his cat. Sad.

Fun to read. Cleverly written parody. Great post. Thanks.

You know, I think Marcie is the snitch in the whole conspiracy. Patty wanted wanted revenge on Charlie for not taking her advances. All of them were in on the consricy against our hero. I here it was Lucy's idea, with Woodstock getting the goods. All put together by pigpen because no-one could see what he was doing through that dust cloud. Of course Charlie and and Shoopy having such trust, Charlie took whatever Snoopy gave him. I have some inside information that his brother, Spike, will be coming in from Needles California as a character witness. His other brothers and sisters from the Daisy Hill puppy farm are all up in arms over this. This is all a conspiracy. Charlie is going to roll as a prosecution witness and roll on the whole gang and bring them down.

Charlie Brown on roids!?! Com'n look at the size of that mellon. It's as if his neck shouldn't be able to support his roid inflated noggin. And what of the premature hair loss? How could we have been so blind?!?

posted by gradys_kitchen at 09:54 AM on September 06, 2006

I don't think Lucy had anything to do with the steroids. She was too busy operating the gambling ring. Did you really think her psychiatric stand was a legitimate business? Rumor has it she was in cahoots with a person using the alias, The Great Pumpkin. There's more to it, but I've probably said too much already.

Now I know why the strip was called "PEANUTS"
