Title: Lucy from the peanuts
Post by: texasmom on March 13, 2007, 01:19:52 PM
I'm looking for the peanuts cartoon that was one frame only: Lucy kicked back w/her arm on a console, wearing air traffic control headset.  I don't remember what she was saying.

I think I've looked probably everywhere for it.  Ideas on where to look y'all?

Yeah, I guess this kinda isn't a peanuts gang. If y'all don't have ideas on where to look it's okay. I'll keep looking.:)

google is almost your friend  http://images.google.com/images?svnum=10&hl=en&q=peanuts+Lucy&btnG=Search

i looked real quick but just a few pages and didnt see it, but its possible someone made it using her classic Lucy pose on Schroders piano?   Maybe you can make your own?

I did look through the many variations of google image searches ~ and I originally saw it in a newspaper ~ comic section.  I even bought peanuts books (weren't in those either, but worked okay, since I've got a whole bunch of kids. they like the books too).

Good idea on making my own.  

Thanks for the clip Raider  :)  I think I'll give it a go.

if you remember the newspaper, they may have it archived.

I wish I did.  I think my father actually clipped it out of a newspaper and mailed it to me, and that was about 15 years ago.  :)

Glad to see you NOT  :)

Your description got me thinking..

Instead of air traffic control, could it be mission control?

Referring to 'The Beagle Has Landed'.

That might help.

I coulda swore I have the book at home.. maybe I'll dig through the basement tonight.

:) that wasn't it at all! I wasn't giving up on y'all.  I just went back after that long & realized that it seemed a little bit of a silly question to have asked.  So it wasn't a reference at all to y'all.

But the other answer to your question is also... no, I'm not at all patient.:)

No, no.  I was only a tower controller years and years ago.  In the army, then later DoD. Never was artcc. Only at a little level iii tower.  But that may help to understand why I like Lucy so much know it all, sassy, mean as a bullet girl.

Are you still at ZFW?  Yeah that's what drew my attention to the Lucy thingy and the ATC Headset.

Mac

Just got back to SHV after going down to LCHZ_TRACO and LCH_WSFO...
Long drive and back.

LCHZ_TRACO is being remodeled now after the hurricane...kinda gutted.

Nope, I never worked down here at all.  I was up near washington dc for about 6 years (DAA), then quit it entirely to stay home w/the kids ~ not a tough choice ~ kids or nightshift every other week.  Then followed my husband around until he retired here in texas where his family is from.

Found the book.  Nothing in there about any space flight stuff, except a few strips of Snoopy being a helicopter. Nothing with Lucy in a headset.

Now that I've excavated my old collection, maybe I'll trip over something as I page through them.

Um.. yeah.. research.. that's the ticket..

Good luck in the hunt.
