One of my fav blogs (actually a tumblr site) this isn’t happiness^TM 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?
