Seriously. She has been pulling that football trick on Charlie Brown for decades, and I would love to see Charlie miss and kick her head instead. She deserves it, you have to admit. Plus she is SUCH a downer. You know she will never get married. Who'd want to get married to Lucy and put up with her sh*t for the rest of his life?
shareI agree. Lucy is an absolute t**t. If I was Charlie Brown I would kick her damn head in for pulling that football trick all the time.
"We're all part Shatner/And part James Dean/Part Warren Oates/And Steven McQueen"
In a later strip, CB did kick the ball, but he accidentally kicked Lucy as well, I think in the hand or something, and he felt remorse over the incident...
shareHe did in a strip once. Not her head, but her hand. CB was in the hospital and Lucy made a vow that if he got better, she'd never pull away the football again. After Charlie gets better he takes her up on that offer and he ends up kicking her hand. Great vengenance.
shareIn one episode of the tv series he gets turned invisible by Snoopy's magic trick and he is able to kick the football away from her and he brags to her about it, of course eventually when he turns visible again she pulls it away like usual.
shareYeah, I remember that too. And as a revenge, Snoopy levitates her and leaves her there while he and his master skip off together. Linus gets her down with his blanket.
share"She has been pulling that football trick on Charlie Brown for decades,"
It takes two to tango, you know. She didn't 'pull a trick' on Charlie Brown per se, she took PART in exploring just how deep Charlie's wishy-washy overly trusting stupidity goes. She couldn't have 'tricked' anyone, if Charlie had simply REFUSED to kick the 'ball' (can it be called a ball, when it's shaped more like.. well, better not even say..).
Charlie's consent was REQUIRED every single time the trick was performed. Without it, there had been no trick. Sure, she's awful, but so is Charlie - it was a co-operation of 'evil' and 'stupid/gullible' that made it possible.
I wish Biff was there to punch his head and say "Don't be so gullible, Brown!"
Lucy gets her comeuppance in Family Guy episodes, and MAD Magazine as well, so you can rest in peace and appreciate the joke that exists mostly to exemplify just how much of a loser Charlie Brown is, Lucy's evil is just the pre-requisite for that to be able to happen, it's not the main focus point.
