It's Only a Game was a sports-and-game-oriented comics panel by Charles M. Schulz, creator of Peanuts.

[2] Schulz and cartoonist Jim Sasseville (who also assisted Schulz on Peanuts stories for various comic books) produced this strip which appeared in newspapers four times a week, including Sundays.

Despite the resemblance to the children in Peanuts, most of the characters in these cartoons were adults.

The strip was modestly successful, although its unusual three-times-a-week publication schedule (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) may have limited its placement in many newspapers.

Given the growing popularity of Peanuts (along with his work on Young Pillars) and the resulting demands on his time, Schulz canceled the strip after 63 weeks.
