    CB:“Here comes the sun now! Oh, God, I can’t bear to look! But I have to; how else will I know if I’m cured? Will I see the sun, or a baseball? Which one will it be?” And as it turns out,NEITHER! Just the MAD logo! CB:“GOOD GRIEF!” Audio(just like on Old School Sesame Street)“Wipwip, wipwipwipwip. WIP!!!” or,“DINDINDINDINDINDIN!!!”

    Sparky using Alfred would imply that he heard/read that an issue of MAD has a parody of Peanuts.

    I wonder if it was topical at the time…

    A funny, surprising, wacky, unexpected conclusion. Just the way the comics are supposed to be. And remember, Schulz never put someone in his comic that he didn’t like.

    This entire story arc was done in animated form for the special “It’s an Adventure, Charlie Brown” (1982), with all the original dialogue and the Alfred E. Newman cameo intact. It was unusual in that, unlike all the other Peanuts specials up to that time, virtually all the material was taken directly from the strips, with really nothing added or subtracted.
