Plot
Edit
There are three months of school left and all of the Peanuts gang are under pressure from too many tests and homework assignments. They now have to make preparations to write a report on a field trip to an art museum, for half their grade. Both Charlie Brown, and Peppermint Patty's school were going on the field trip.
When Charlie Brown, Sally, and Snoopy get off the bus for the trip, they see Patty, and a newcomer student named Marcie. The five of them start talking and don't see there class go into the museum, and accidentally walk into a supermarket next door, and mistake it for the art museum. They study the meat, and the cans and don't notice they're not in the art museum.
In the museum, Marcie asks Patty if she likes Charlie Brown, to which Patty said "I could never love a blockhead like Chuck". Unfortanately, Charlie Brown heard that and got upset. When they left the supermarket, Patty appoligized.
The next day Linus shows Charlie Brown and Lucy slides that resemble the works he took pictures of, Charlie Brown's hopes of salvaging his grades are shattered. As he waits for his graded report, he expects the worst of it all. However, everything works out for the best, as his teacher assumes his report is a description of an art museum described through the description of a supermarket and she gives him the grade he needs.
In the final scene, Peppermint Patty apologizes to Charlie Brown for saying bad things to him and that it was not easy for a girl to talk like that to a boy. But Peppermint Patty angrily blows Charlie Brown away after Charlie Brown brings up the Little Red-Haired Girl. Marcie, who was watching this and calling her 'sir' throughout the special, reminded Peppermint Patty that she said the wrong thing again like she did in the supermarket. Peppermint Patty then asks Marcie if she realizes how annoying it is being called 'sir' a lot when she tells her not to. Marcie responds, "No, ma'am".
NotesEdit
- This special marks the animated debut of Peppermint Patty's friend Marcie, who appeared in the comics for the first time in 1971 (although a girl resembling her named "Clara" had appeared in 1968).
- A few satiric comments are made towards Pop Art, particularly Andy Warhol's Campbell's Soup Cans (without mentioning the artist by name).
- Two times in the special, Peppermint Patty refers to Charlie Brown by his usual name instead of "Chuck".
