Linus blows the class rep' election...
... by telling his
schoolmates about the 'Great
Pumpkin' during the speech, though he aimed at becoming the class
representative (= "délégué" in France). Indeed, Linus is probably the most naive character in "The Peanuts" comic strips [by Charles Schulze].
How come Linus started talking about a pumpkin during the election campaign ?? Well... Linus is actually crazy about 'the Great Pumpkin' -which is a
character that nobody sees in "The Peanuts"... However, Linus is strongly convinced 'the Great Pumpkin' is real... and continues to
search for it !
If you wish to know who 'the Great Pumpkin' is,

Pumpkins are one of the
symbols of
Hallowe'en :
I will tell you more about
it... soon :o)
