Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 23, 1959
Transcript:
Patty stands in front of the house watching Charlie Brown walking by grimacing. He exclaims, "I've never been so mad in all my life!"<br> <br> He turns to Patty and continues, "I went down to the store to get a halloween mask and they were all out of them!"<br> <br> Patty asks, "Aren't they going to order any more?" Charlie Brown replies, "HA! Are you kidding?"<br> <br> Sally grimaces as Charlie Brown raises his hands and shouts,"They Were Busy Putting Up Christmas Decorations!"<br> <br>
No joke: yesterday I went to Red Bank, NJ to see the singer Loreena McKennitt perform. The Italian restaurant next door to the Count Basie Theater? It had its Christmas decorations up. On October 24th.
