It's the Great Plan, Charlie Brown!

Happy Halloween! Enjoy a little Good Omens fun based on the beloved Peanuts TV special, "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!" In the story, Linus unwaveringly believes in the existence of the Great Pumpkin, who rises out of the Most Sincere Pumpkin Patch on Halloween night to bring treats to kids.

Linus convinces Sally, Charlie Brown's little sister (who has a massive crush on him) to join him in the local pumpkin patch and wait for the Great Pumpkin. When the GP doesn't show, Sally goes on a huge tirade about how she wasted her time waiting in that pumpkin patch when she could have been out trick or treating. You can watch Sally's tirade here. Even Crowley can't match her bitter fury.

Elements of this scene, especially the expressions of the original characters in this moment, reminded me so much of Aziraphale and Crowley in the Bandstand scene from S1 that I knew I had to turn it into Good Omens. I had a lot of fun reimagining this, from the changes in character design, to the play on words with Great Pumpkin and Great Plan.

Peanuts characters seem simple enough to draw. However, they are not. Charles Schulz' line art includes very specific angles and shapes that would take a lot of practice to master. Therefore my image is traced from a still drawing by Charles Schulz from the original TV show.

One of my favorite Peanuts facts is that after It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown aired, people (kids and adults both) were so upset by the fact Charlie Brown only got rocks that they sent a ton of candy to the studio, addressed to Charlie Brown
