Features: "Every time I read a comic strip, I'm stunned. Wow, it's simply a masterpiece! Charlie Brown is such a dummy, so what? Precisely because of that, we love him even more." — Conan O'Brien "A lady wrote on a CNN bulletin board: 'He gave me Lucy, this tough girl; gave us the lovable Charlie Brown, making us feel better about ourselves; and gave us Snoopy, who proved that where there's a will, there's a way.'" — Jeff Piatt (Special Contributor to CNET News.com)
It's strange that people think I've achieved so much. I just did my best. Miss Lucy still conducts her five-cent psychological counseling business in a very peculiar way, while also promoting all sorts of mystical views and harsh advice therapy. Speaking softly to her clients is not her style or tradition. Besides shouting "Don't ask me such a stupid question" when faced with real problems, Lucy sometimes encourages her customers to "kick fate in the belly" or "hit fate in the eye," and also seriously suggests that they find a "middle ground" between loneliness and fear of being alone, and so on.
Besides the regulars Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a little bird named Woodstock has joined the clientele of her small clinic. Incredibly, this bird quickly transformed into Lucy's apprentice doctor.
Indeed, Lucy's psychological counseling leaves Charlie Brown more and more baffled—no matter how hard he tries, he can't understand what a "life curveball" is. During the off-season, the baseball team captain Charlie Brown wins match after match in his dreams. When the real season arrives, his team actually wins two games in a row—but the reason is that· and's teams withdrew due to lack of players, so Charlie Brown wins by default. However, the excitement doesn't last long, as·'s arrogant words pour cold water on him. According to her, she could have single-handedly crushed Charlie Brown's entire team. Why didn't she do that? Because she has a heart.
Snoopy joins Charlie Brown's team, but performs even worse than his owner. The Charlie Brown starts a baseball magazine, creating an idol player named "Joe," who hits 143 times in a season, allowing Charlie Brown to fully enjoy the thrill of victory.
