You can blame Apple for taking away a tradition for generations by restricting the Charlie Brown holiday specials to their streaming service and not allowing them to be shown on regular TV.
I’ve always remembered the vey top panel because it features the Great Pumpkin himself! It’s the only time I can recall Charles Shulz actually showing him in the strip.
Charles Shulz said that he made the strip from the kids’ point of view and in their world, which is why parents and other adult figures are mentioned but never seen.
Even Marcie? That’s cold.
