At summer camp, the boys compete and are seemingly hopelessly outmatched by the female campers.
The one where Snoopy, dressed as the Masked Marvel, would arm wrestle Lucy at the end, while the infamously recognizeable Peanuts music (actually called Linus and Lucy's theme) played over the competition.
What a fight. Lucy and Snoopy both sweated profusely, gritted their teeth, hair became ragged. Intense.
I have just now seen Charlie Brown All Stars, the second of all the Charlie Brown specials, for the first time in who knows how many decades.
I remembered that story more for the storybook that we could buy from the book store in the school library.
I have since seen this camping episode in the past couple of years. I daresay I think my brother may have it recorded.
But it was that arm wrestling match that was the coup de grace.
Nothing like it ever seen for this kid.
Oh, the outcome? Snoopy kissed Lucy, the music came to an end, and Lucy flew into one of the fiercest rages I have ever seen.
"Foul! Foul! I've got dog germs! I won! I won!" This has reigned with me ever since. Talk about poor sportsmanship.
Or winning isn't everything if it brings about this behavior.
charlie Brown, you never won, but trust me, kid, you were always the winner.
