Peanuts® and Lucy Pulling the Football Away
For over fifty years the fall season would be marked by the annual pulling away of the football by Lucy van Pelt against a befuddled Charlie Brown. Oddly enough, this perennial tradition actually began with the character Violet, not Lucy, as she holds the football for Charlie Brown's attempted kick in a November 14th, 1951 comic. In this first iteration, Violet was simply afraid of getting kicked in the hand by Charlie and so pulled away at the last minute, leaving him to fall on his back. The first time Peanuts fans see Lucy do this is in a November 16, 1952 strip where she initially pulls the ball away because it's her new football and she doesn't want it to get dirty. After Charlie's failed kick she even lets him try again and keeps the ball down, but Charlie still manages to flub it anyway.
