    Johnson did a great job on his head, and he’s wearing the canonical shirt, but the one detail that seems jarringly out of character is the size of that hand in the second panel:

    P.S. I was surprised to discover that whenever circumstances permitted it, Schulz actually took the trouble to draw five fingers, and not the usual four seen in most strips:

    @ Brian (5) – It appears that the gag was written for the special, I was not able to find it anywhere in a Peanuts strip. (Schulz was actively involved in the scriptwriting for the TV specials, but of course did not do all the drawing for them, so it’s not surprising that Linus has only four fingers on each hand.)
