honors at the dance. In disbelief, Charlie Brown replies, "What good is it to do anything, Linus, if you can't remember what you did?" Regardless, Linus reminds him that at least it was his first kiss and the story ends with him smiling with quiet satisfaction.

Critical reception Audience reaction was primarily positive, but there were two elements about this special that initially caused negative reaction from viewers: The Little Red-Haired Girl was never seen in the daily comics (except in silhouette in a later strip from May 1998), nor was she ever referred to by her real name. Schulz himself admitted that he could not draw her to readers' satisfaction, much less his own, but the storyline of the TV special forced the issue. In the special's initial broadcast, Charlie Brown was blamed by most of his teammates (especially Peppermint Patty) for bungling kicks and losing the game, though it was clearly obvious that Lucy was the culprit. Many viewers protested; while they could accept Lucy pulling the ball away, they could not accept Charlie Brown's being blamed for the loss. As a result, in all subsequent broadcasts, the offending lines by Peppermint Patty ("Okay, Chuck, you really goofed up on that play!" and "Chuck, you can't do anything right!") were made lower and backmasked.
