A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving's anniversary celebrated in the news

The classic Peanuts special A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving first aired on November, 20, 1973, making 2013 the show's 40th anniversary. The media has taken note, with several articles published in the past couple of days:

• The Los Angeles Times tells us about The recipe for 'A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving'
• Lee Mendelson himself wrote A 40-Year Thanksgiving Feast, Peanuts-style for the Huffington Post
• And finally, the Chicago Tribune's RedEye has Talking turkey and "A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving" with Lee Mendelson

(Note that while Mr. Mendelson says Charles Schulz drew "over 18,000" Peanuts comic strips, the actual count is 17,897.)

Don't forget that the special itself airs Thursday, November 28 from 8 - 9 PM (Eastern/Pacific) on ABC.
