Happy New Year, Charlie Brown is the 30th Peanuts special, originally aired by CBS on January 1, 1986. It later moved to ABC, where it was paired with the 1980 special She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown. In 2020, it was acquired by Apple TV+.Over Christmas break, Charlie Brown is assigned to read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy. When Peppermint Patty invites him to a New Years party, he's torn between continuing to struggle with the Doorstopper and attending the party with everyone else. He particularly would like to go with the Little Red-Haired Girl, much to the annoyance and jealousy of Peppermint Patty. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: Charlie Brown worries about getting his hand caught in the Little Red-Haired Girl's mail slot and then someone opening the door on him. Linus tells him that he worries about "the most impossible things." Guess what happens next. | |

Sadist Teacher | |
| Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / int_2a6a8e89 | comment |
Sadist Teacher: Surely, any teacher who assigns War and Peace to an eight-year-old qualifies. And weirdly, Charlie Brown seems to be the only student who was given this ridiculous assignment. | |

Misplaced Kindergarten Teacher: Inverted. Charlie Brown's teacher assigns a book report on War and Peace, something way beyond the reading level for an eight-year-old. | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: The kids celebrate the new year and Charlie Brown finishes his report though with a bad grade (it's worth it), but he spends so much time reading that he falls asleep before midnight and misses dancing with the Little Red-Haired Girl, who showed up after all, but he does get kissed by Marcie. | |

Appeal to Worse Problems | |
| Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / int_42c9a131 | comment |
Appeal to Worse Problems: When Charlie Brown complains about how hard it is to read War and Peace, Linus replies by talking at length about how difficult it must have been for Tolstoy's wife to copy it seven times by candlelight, finishing with, "And you're telling me you can't even read it once?" | |

All Love Is Unrequited | |
| Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / int_7a82c3d2 | comment |
All Love Is Unrequited: As usual for Peanuts. Charlie Brown fell asleep reading War and Peace, thus missing his opportunity to dance with the Little Red-Haired Girl at midnight. This also left Peppermint Patty without a dance partner. And because Linus danced with the Little Red-Haired Girl instead, Sally didn't get to dance with her "sweet baboo." At least Marcie got to kiss Charlie Brown at the end. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: Attempted by Charlie Brown but subverted. He goes into a store asking for various adaptations of War and Peace such as a comic book, an audio recording, filmstrips and so on. He never thinks of asking for study guides like Cliff's Notes, which did exist back then. | |

Hypocrite | |
| Happy New Year, Charlie Brown / int_d52d28b6 | comment |
Hypocrite: Charile Brown's teacher gave him a D minus on his book report for War and Peace because "no 8-year-old could have possibly read the whole thing". This reasoning falls apart for two reasons: She assigned the book to an 8-year-old in the first place (and over winter break, at that). The problem was that the book was too long, so her solution is to assign a book that's even longer. | |

New Year's Resolution: See page quote. Also, Charlie Brown earlier told Lucy that he was going to be "strong and firm" in the new year. After she replied that he would always be wishy-washy, he amended it to him being, "wishy one day and washy the next." | |

With Friends Like These...: Once the Little Red-Haired Girl arrives to the New Years party and Linus invites her inside, rather than trying to find Charlie Brown, who invited her in the first place, Linus dances with her instead before she leaves. Sally snitches on him to Charlie Brown, and Linus looks over her shoulder sheepishly. | |
