Leave it to someone who’s loco for Ludwig. (Just to mess around, the distance from Detroit, Michigan to Toledo, Washington — I used to live around there myself — is 2,435 miles.)
When this strip was published, comic books were only 10 cents each. That’s 100 comic books. So depending on which comics were bought and hidden away until now, that could be $$$$$$$.
Schulz recycled this gag when Schroeder impressed Charlie Brown with his ability to remember his address. I don’t remember the street name, but the house number was 1770, the year Beethoven was born.

So, Schroeder didn’t connect with Heinz 57 varieties, or wasn’t that advertised yet?

But, Beethoven was only 56 when he died.

Today is Dec 8 for us, the date on the comic is Dec 10, and Beethoven’s birthday is coming soon, Dec 16. Time to start the celebration!

57 likes as I read this. Out of respect for LVB I will not add to that.

Well he was wrong, wasn’t he. He was 56 when he died, his 57th birthday was months away.
