Post by: Bryant5493 on October 01, 2010, 10:21:56 PM
The Peanuts turn 60 tomorrow (2 0ctober 2010).

Happy birthday to that "Blockhead," Snoopy, Woodstock, Linus, Lucy, Sally, Peppermint Patty, and the rest of the gang.

You're a 60-Year-Old Man, Charlie Brown! (http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/video/peanuts-gang-turns-60-11773868)


Best regards,
