What’s interesting is that psychiatry isn’t even really Lucy’s own stated career objective. What she REALLY wants to do when she grows up is work in advertising!
Many of the strip story lines became the basis for plots in the animated specials and theatrical movies. One of interest to point out is a sequence used in “It’s the Great Pumpkin,…”. In the original strip, when Linus comments to Sally how he always thought little girls were innocent and trusting", Sally responded, “Welcome to 1962!”, which was the year that strip was originally created. For the animated special, the response was changed to, “Welcome to the 20th Century!” Probably done so as to not give an out of date reference on the TV special. How ironic that no one knew what the longevity of Peanuts would be, and that this “20th Century” line of dialog is now even outdated!

Funny how many different parts of previous strips made it into “A Charlie Brown Christmas”

In “Christmas”, it was “Money, money, money! How I love that sound! Cold, hard cash!”

Lucy must be a natural psychiatrist.

Makes me long for the Christmas season when I can watch “A Charlie Brown Christmas” without guilt and play the Vince Guaraldi CD endlessly…

Actually, it was Lucy who wanted real estate. Sally preferred “tens and twenties.”

His problem is he can’t afford a real psychiatrist.
