614: Lucy's Marvelous Mechanical Museum

Explanation
The original comic has Lucy giving Charlie Brown a banana before he goes to kick the football. Of course, she pulls it away, and she explains the bananas help promote muscles healing; something Charlie Brown definitely needs after slamming into the ground on his back.

Here, the dialogue has been replaced by the lyrics to the song "Banana Man" by Tally Hall. The strip's intro panel has "Good Ol' Charlie Brown" changed to the name of the song. The title is a reference to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum, the album that "Banana Man" is from.

The author writes
Charlie Brown should make up his mind and tell her no.

Original Peanuts strip: 1978-10-01.
