If you are on a bubble gum card you are great, but who is the greatest?
Watching the Charlie Brown Christmas special tonight on ABC with my daughter I learned the most important lesson.
Lucy Van Pelt: What has Beethoven got to do with Christmas? Everyone talks about how "great" Beethoven was. Beethoven wasn't so great.
Schroeder: What do you mean Beethoven wasn't so great?
Lucy Van Pelt: He never got his picture on bubblegum cards, did he? Have you ever seen his picture on a bubblegum card? Hmmm? How can you say someone is great who's never had his picture on bubblegum cards?
Schroeder: Good grief.
So who is the "Greatest" person put on a bubble gum card prior to 1965 (the year Charlie Brown Christmas originally premiered).
