At least Linus DID tell the truth, that he, too, remembered to do something in honor of Washington’s birthday, even if by SURPASSING Lucy, in excellence, like he even confesses in the closing panel.

Heard somewhere that the whole George Washington and the cherry tree thing was completely made up. What we today would call a hoax.
