no invitation?


I'm watching the DVD. Lucy pees on Charlie Brown's parade, claiming his invitation to Violet's Hallowe'en party was a mistake, but no one protests his presence at the party, not even Lucy herself.

What's the story there?

In a deleted scene, Violet gave in after Charlie Brown threatened to leave
a flaming paper bag filled with Snoopy poopy on her front doorstep on Mischief
Night.



I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

lol And here I thought Violet just felt sorry for Charlie Brown, after he went trick-or-treating with them and got only rocks for his efforts! And in another deleted scene, Violet privately apologizes to him for arranging for those houses to give him nothing but rocks, and pledges to team up with him, to ram a football down Lucy's throat.

This is the actual dialogue from the Peanuts comic strip from September
1, 1954 (Patty and Violet are taunting CB):

Patty: We're going to have a party, Charlie Brown, and we're not going to
invite you!

CB: If you don't let me come, I'll get in a jet fighter, and fly over your
house, and strafe it! Then I'll circle back with a bomber squadron,
and we'll bomb your party to pieces!

Patty and Violet in unison: Okay...you're invited....

Apparently, Charles Schulz was still working on Charlie Brown's personality
in the early years of the strip, and he hadn't yet evolved into the gentle,
sweet-natured kid that he's best remembered as, but instead was somewhat more
like Calvin of "Calvin and Hobbes."
