Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 29, 2020

They rarely are.

The year that ran rhe Grand Marshal was Charles Schultz.

Are the Clydesdales in the parade anymore? I don’t think so. After the foreigners bought A-B, they first changed the St. Louis float, which was generously supported by A-B, to the A-B float, but the last couple of times I tried to check I didn’t even see them listed in the parade anymore.

why would Lucy think Linus didn’t care who the grand marshall was?

Charles Schulz was the grand marshal of the Rose Bowl parade in 1974. :-)

Is the Grand Marshal roasted or do they salt him down?

My sister watches only for the floats, I don’t think she would even care who the Grand Marshal is…

My daughters & I always loved to watch the Rose Parade. Sometimes I would have to explain who the Grand Marshall is; they would gauge his/her importance by my reaction. LOL We’re all so sad that there isn’t going to be one this week.

Isn’t New Year’s Day Friday? And because of the COVID-19 pandemic (even with vaccines now rolling out into early to mid 2020) there won’t be a Tournament of Roses Parade this 2021 New Year but ABC and NBC will air Tournament of Roses Parade reimagined retrospective specials in the in person and live parade’s place.

Watching parades on TV. I don’t criticize other people for liking what they like, but this is something I simply don’t understand. Oh well.

Remember watching the Rose Parade in the late 1960’s in my aunt’s house in northwest CT. She had a color TV, unknown in my household. I’ll tell you, the Rose Parade was a big deal to us back then!

I can think of no better reason to celebrate the New Year this year simply because it won’t be 2020 anymore.

I will put a paycheck on 2021 ending better than it starts.

Don’t you just love a parade?

Charles Schultz 1974 rose parade grand marshal :-)

This strip must have been from when Sparky was the grand Marshall!

Charles Schulz was Grand Marshall in 1974.

Some things never change.

Fame is fleeting, Sparky.

Did some research. Guess who was the Grand Marshal of the 1974 Rose Parade: Sparky, himself, Charles M. Schulz!

This was the year that Schulz himself was the Grand Marshall :D

Charles M. Schulz was the grand marshal in 1974…

Been to the Rose Parade many times, but the first was the most memorable. We slept on the sidewalk in front of a Carl’s Jr. #FightOn

Been to the Rose Parade twice with my high school marching band. Both times we were in somewhere before the first group of horses, so that was good. One year we came in 5th and the next time we were there we place 3rd. Turns out some high schools take this thing seriously.

Is there any way of finding out if Charles Shulz was the Grand Marshal of the parade in 1974?

That was the year (1974) I marched with a sousaphone in the Los Angeles All-City High School Band. I don’t recall what pieces we played.

Oh, and Schulz was the Grand Marshall!

I’m guessing the joke was related to the fact that Charles Schulz was Grand Marshall of the 1974 Rose Bowl Parade.

Charles Schultz himself was Grand Marshal in 1974 when the strip originally ranl

No Rose Parade for 2021. Thank you Covid.

Poor Chuck

This was the year Charles Schulz was the Grand Marshal. ❤

Beautiful.. Linus looked kind of creepy as a balloon float, but nice.

Hate to rain on your parade, Lucy, but I’m lost here!

I’ve lost count on how many people knew that Schultz was honored that year. Thanks people. The real joke would be lost if you didn’t know that fact.

I never watched the Rose Bowl parade. I am from Philly, so we watched the Mummers Parade instead.

Close as he ever came to breaking the 4th wall! (And I remember seeing him in that parade on TV.)

Try him, Lucy. He’s more likely to have heard of the Grand Marshal than you.

Amazing how many people repeat a question because they don’t read the comments.

the good old days

What happens when Linus Van Pelt sees the Blue Baron from Hogan’s Heroes or Sally Rogers with prune yogurt?
