Schulz had a long association with ice sports, and both figure skating and ice hockey featured prominently in his cartoons. In Santa Rosa, he was the owner of the Redwood Empire Ice Arena, which opened in 1969 and featured a snack bar called “The Warm Puppy”.
(the wiki).
Ice-skating is the only sport other than baseball at which I’ve ever instantly demonstrated amazing prowess on the first try. For this reason, I try to talk it up big to everyone I know, but, in a region of California that seldom ever sees temperatures dip below 25 degrees, fahrenheit, it’s an uphill battle.

Ice skating is one of the sports I have not taken to at all. I can barely keep standing up, much less move. This is an adorable cartoon clip.

LOL, I thought that Batman would be the one nailing Wonder Woman. Never thought she would play him like that…
