Anybody for a Crab-In?, November 23, 2002
This review is from: You're You, Charlie Brown (Paperback)
This is a collection of Peanuts cartoons that were in the newspaper back in 1968. Here, Lucy announces she's going to have a "crab-in" (probably a pun on "Laugh-In," then a popular 1960's show). Peppermint Patty becomes a camp counselor and we see the 1st incarnation of Marcie (she hadn't been given that name yet and you didn't see her refer to Peppermint Patty as "sir"). Snoopy becomes baseball manager and anyone who makes a mistake or talks back to him gets a swift kick in the pants! BOOT! Lucy gives Schroeder a new nickname, "Dearheart," and ol' Dearheart threatens to resign as catcher unless Lucy stops calling him that! She also paints rally stripes on his piano (and you wonder why he isn't crazy about her?). There are references to the 1968 Olympics here. Well, Charlie Brown, some may call you a blockhead, but you're just you! Don't ever change!
