If you watch enough Charlie Brown specials, you learn the rules pretty quick: Snoopy only communicates through non-verbal vocalizations, you never see adults, and when adults are present, you only hear them as a muted trombone.
Except that each of those rules has been broken several times. After an overview of a handful of times those rules were broken, you pointed out many many more!
So many, in fact, that I’m following up on each one individually. This time we’re looking at more times adult faces were seen in Peanuts cartoons. We’ve got parents, grandparents, teenagers, local elected officials, and one dead body.
