Charles M. Schulz
Peanuts * December 5, 1963
Reproduction
Schulz on occasion has had a little fun at the expense of the East Coast "establishment." Here Lucy proclaims that Santa is financed by a "big Eastern chain," while in the animated special A Charlie Brown Christmas the characters refer to the nefarious "Eastern syndicate." Schulz may have been gently "yanking the chain" of some of the executives at United Feature Syndicate of New York City, the company the syndicated the Peanuts comic strip. |
