Pumpkin spice stuff has been around since August. More disturbing is that its not even Halloween yet & Christmas stuff is already showing up in the isles of brick/mortar retail stores.
Sometimes the best characters are never really given the chance that they deserve. Marcie should have been featured in other roles than simply Peppermint Patty’s sattelite (in my view, she is the more interesting character of the two anyway). I would have loved to see storylines focusing on Marcie, and see her interacting with other Peanuts children without Peppermint Patty always having to be around there as well and hogging all the attention. Marcie’s relationship with Linus in particular could have been an interesting one. Don’t get me wrong – I think that Peppermint Patty is a wonderful character. However, I do also think that Marcie has been given a raw deal in the strip.
last year marcie responded to linus with “I’ve heard about you” this year she’s excited for him? though it’s been a couple of years without a GP story so i’m, pumped.
In 2008 there was a lot of disciples on the Simpsons when the Great Pumpkin really did come up out the pumpkin patch in the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XIX.

Is it too early Linus for the pumpkin-spice?

But is Peppermint Patty sitting in a sincere pumpkin patch? That’s the only kind the Great Pumpkin will rise from. Ask Linus.

Peppermint Patty is just gonna find disappointment when the Great Pumpkin never shows up.

Then the Great Pumpkin must be real, how many “Likes” does it have?

There is a sweet sadness in Linus’ Great Pumpkin devotion…

Well, he already has Sally. But Patty punches harder when she’s disappointed.

Linus could’ve said “A Believer” which could be more to the point other than being biblical about it.

Tomorrow: Linus grows a beard and carves a sw_stika in his forehead!

Patty is going to be a dangerous disciple Linus, if the the Great Pumpkin doesn’t show up she will let you have it.
