Keep Marcy Out of the Kitchen!!

Review for It's The Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown

One of the unusual aspects of this Holiday Special is that it rarely focuses on Charlie Brown. Rather, Pepperment Patty is the central figure, as she takes on the challenge of teaching her friend, Marcy, how to color eggs.

The other aspect of this program is that it relies on visual gags and surreal humor to welcome Spring rather than delivering a message as most Peanuts programs do. It seems appropriate, though, given the feelings evoked by Easter.

As with all Peanuts specials, the color pallette and score of the cartoon beautifully represent the time of year.

Trivia Question-what day of the year is it? Hint-Look at the sign that tells you how many days are left to Christmas!! A-
