    Well… That’s certainly the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard someone shout at the TV…

    I don’t know about Ratner and Olsen, but Letness was, “George Letness worked with and befriended a young Charles Schulz and for 50 years was one of the best-known commercial illustrators in the Twin Cities, helping to create such iconic images as Count Chocula and Franken Berry.”

    This strip was an enigma to me for decades until I came across this blog:

    The Ratner, Olsen, and Letness mentioned refer to Dave Ratner, Paul Olsen and George Letness, artist friends of Charles Schulz, and the strip was a private joke between them. The Marc Ratner who runs that blog appears to be the son of Dave Ratner.

    For a few years, Schulz didn’t mind challenging his audience with a joke that they might have had to do a little research to understand. Linus getting worked up over a panel discussion as if it were a ball game is hilarious.
