A most unlucky side effect of being bald,much less “piebald”(completely bald),such a head is an easy target for being drawn on. Another fine example is in the Halloween special,“It’s the great pumpkin,CB,”at Violet’s party, where she and Lucy use CB for a jack o’lantern model, just so they can draw on his head.

In reference to Panel 6-So, does that mean this Peanuts strip was supposed to take place in Texas? Like several other Peanuts fans, I,too, have always wondered where they were supposed to take place. However, it seems St.Paul,Minnesota, would be a great possibility, since,first, that’s where Schulz grew up, and second, like Minnesota’s winters, it snows a lot in the winter in Peanuts.

Correcting for inflation, $10 in 1961 is almost $82 in 2017 dollars!

I guess he really is bald, wiyh a bit of hair in front. Only in a cartoon is this possible for a child.
