R release names –

I always love discussions about R release names and their origin. I have been working on this list for a while – with the release of “Short Summer” today, I thought it’d be a good time to post!

All of the release names are references to Peanuts strips/films. I think this is just so delightful! A few months ago, I attempted to get permission to embed the strips on our blog, but unfortunately it was denied (unless with a limited audience and password protection r emo::ji("woman_shrugging")), so I’ve just linked to the comics – Enjoy!

Reference: Peanuts August 17, 1967

Reference: Peanuts October 29, 1973

Reference: A Charlie Brown Christmas

This is very close to the Peanuts January 5, 1960, however they mention January snowflakes rather than December. The “December Snowflakes” quote is from A Charlie Brown Christmas.

Reference: This is a line Lucy says in the short film It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown! – referring to Easter as the “gift-getting season”.

Reference: Peanuts April 11, 1971

This also likely references the It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown!.

Reference: Peanuts June 6, 1987

Reference: Peanuts October 31, 1969

Reference: Peanuts October 23, 1965

Reference: Peanuts June 23, 1981

Edit: Got some insider info from the source himself that this is from Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show!

Reference: You’re a Good Sport, Charlie Brown

This is likely from the film You’re a Good Sport Charlie Brown, however there Peanuts November 22, 1953 does refer to being a “Good Sport” as well!

Reference: Peanuts September 3, 1971

r tufte::margin_note("There is also a book titled [*Happiness is a Warm Puppy*](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/82191.Happiness_is_a_Warm_Puppy).") Reference: Peanuts January 11, 1965

Reference: Peanuts March 22, 1971

Reference: This seems to be referring to a mini jigsaw puzzle, available on ebay!

Reference: You’re a Good Sport, Charlie Brown

It’s a bit later in the clip, around 16:45.

Reference: It seems that MetLife created a Peanuts themed Fire Saftey Brochure coloring and activity book.

Reference: This is a line from A Charlie Brown Christmas – Linus says “Gee, I didn’t know they still made wooden Christmas trees”.

Reference: Peanuts February 20, 1964

I assume this is still a reference to Peanuts February 20, 1964

Reference: Peanuts May 7, 1971

Reference: Peanuts June 15, 1967

Reference: Peanuts Oct 30, 1968

Reference: Peanuts June 29, 1966

Reference: Peanuts September 9, 1965

Reference: It was a Short Summer, Charlie Brown

Reference: Peanuts February 19, 1967

Peter Dalgaard made a gif to commemorate the momentous occasion!

r tufte::margin_note('<a href = "../../media/images/2017-09-28/someone-to-lean-on.jpg"><img src = "../../media/images/2017-09-28/someone-to-lean-on.jpg" width = 200></img></a><br> *Source* [catawiki auctions](https://auction.catawiki.com/kavels/2493737-peanuts-charlie-brown-snoopy-happiness-is-having-someone-to-lean-on-1971)')

Reference: Peanuts Figurine (1971). There are a couple of different versions of this, some with Charlie Brown and Snoopy, one with Linus and Snoopy, and one with Woodstock and Snoopy. Many of them were Hallmark cards, but there was also a badge and this figurine. The oldest (dated) one I could find was this one from 1971, so we went with that!

Reference: Peanuts January 27, 1973

Reference: Peanuts March 9, 1972

Looks like we have some validation (thanks Peter!) – I’ve updated the Masked Marvel accordingly r emo::ji("tada").

Mostly on target. A few are from films/badges rather than strips. Notably Masked Marvel from the unforgettable arm-wrestling w/Lucy.
