Transcript:
Lucy follows behind Linus with her hands in the air and says, "Foolish, that's what it is! Stupid and foolish!"<BR><BR> Lucy says, "Ridiculous!" Linus sits and writes, "Dear Great Pumpkin, Halloween will soon be here. We are all looking forward to your arrival."<BR><BR> Linus continues, "Next week you will rise out of the pumpkin patch, and fly through the air." Lucy says, "Absurd!"<BR><BR> Linus writes, "You will bring presents to all the good little boys and girls in the world." Lucy says, "Preposterous!"<BR><BR> Linus continues, "I have tried to be good all year long and hope that you will bring me lots of presents." Lucy says, "Crazy! Completely crazy!"<BR><BR> Linus holds the letter in his mouth as he puts on his coat. Lucy stands in her coat and says, "Outrageous!"<BR><BR> Lucy walks behind Linus and says, "Insane! Totally and completely insane!"<BR><BR> Lucy watches as Linus mails the letter and then walks away.<BR><BR> Lucy shouts, "Did you tell him I've tried to be good too?"<BR><BR>
At least that’s the way I see it, considering Lucy’s expressions in Panels 9 thru 11, that perhaps there really is a Great Pumpkin, and she would like some “Halloween presents” as well—that she looks as if she has changed her mind, on what she thinks of Linus’ belief.
