Children always try to present themselves in the best possible light when writing their Christmas letters. Lucy makes a less successful effort in the first strip than the second, but in neither case is she fooling those who know her best. Note how effectively Schulz conveys Snoopy's amazement (in the second panel of the first strip) with a couple of quick pen lines. And in the following strip it appears Linus feels ill after reading his sister's sickeningly sweet letter. |
