Peanuts. 16 December 1964
Charles Schulz gained appreciation of classical music as an adult, and began to like it. In his cartoon strip, he revisited some stories. Some saw these set pieces as continuing in-jokes or leitmotifs. In this way, the reader was re-enforced in knowing the characters. Lucy will always pull the ball away from Charlie's kick. Snoopy is a WWI aviator, a member of the French Foreign Legion, and so are Woodstock and his friends. Snoopy types on top of his house. Linus is the philosopher, and theologian who has a security blanket, and waits for the Great Pumpkin. Lucy offers counseling for a nickel. Schroeder plays the piano. While Schulz enjoyed Brahms the most, Beethoven's name had more comic sound. Before Schroeder comes into the cartoon, Charlie struggled with Beethoven on violin. Year, after year [27 of 49], Schroeder reminds us of his idol's birthday.
