Charlie Brown Thanksgiving

One of my fav blogs (actually a tumblr site) this isn’t happinessTM includes the above picture with the question “Why is Franklin sitting on the other side of the table all by himself?”

Good question.

Peanuts did get a bit loopy in the latter years of Charles Schulz’ life but the Thanksgiving special was created in 1973 so I wonder what he was thinking when he put Franklin across the table from most of the gang.

Although I haven’t watched this since I was a kid, another good question is, why didn’t I notice this when I did watch the special?
