It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown

It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown

"It Was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown" is one of many prime-time animated TV specials based upon the popular comic strip "Peanuts," created by Charles M. Schulz. It was directed by Bill Meléndez and originally aired on CBS on September 27, 1969.

The Peanuts gang all go to summer camp, where they must put up with poor food and with the girls' half of the camp winning all the sports competitions. To get even, the boys challenge them to a wrist-wrestling contest between Lucy and "The Masked Marvel" - Snoopy in disguise.

Trivia

The wrist-wrestling contest was loosely based on a series of "Peanuts" strips which appeared during the mid 1960s.

This was the last "Peanuts" TV special for Peter Robbins, before leaving the series.

When Snoopy is driving the bus, in his fantasy, all the other "people" are Snoopys too.

Ironically, Peppermint Patty frequently calls Lucy sir as Lucy is the head of the girls' group at the camp. Marcie calling Peppermint Patty that would become a staple of the strip and TV specials (starting with "There's No Time for Love, Charlie Brown" in 1973).
