It's Only a Game
It's Only a Game was a sports-oriented comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, creator of Peanuts, which ran from 1957 to 1959.
Schulz and cartoonist Jim Sasseville (who also assisted Schulz on the short-lived Peanuts comic book) produced this strip which appeared in newspapers four times a week, including Sundays. Despite the resemblance to the children in Peanuts, many of the characters in this strip were adults. The strip, unlike most other sports comic strips, focused on many amateur sports, like golf and ping pong.
The strip was modestly successful, but given the growing popularity of Peanuts and the resulting demands on his time, Schulz cancelled the strip after 63 weeks.
