you know like in the third panel, when he gives the description of the great pumpkin, now i just stop at “on holloween night the GP…..” and move on to the next panel cause i know it’s basically gonna be the same thing “he flie through the air with his bag of toys for all the children of the world” blah blah blah!

First time I saw this strip, I thought the Great Pumpkin actually was coming, in Panel 6; now of course, I know it was just a "rehearsal"so Snoopy would know what to do, the very next night. We all know this “Great Pumpkin” was supposed to be “the Santa Claus of Halloween”, in fact, before Schulz stopped production on Peanuts, I even used to wonder if Schulz WOULD FINALLY draw the Great Pumpkin coming, on Halloween night, for Linus’ sake, so he would have justice done, for himself and his INFAMOUS WILD TALE.
