Summary |
Scienctific study of a new species of crab, Lepidopa luciae, named for the "crabby" character of Lucy on pages 93-100. The etymology reads: "This species is named in honor of Charles M. Schulz (1922-2000), creator of the beloved 'Peanuts' comic strip that ran nearly 50 years, from October 2, 1950 untill the very date of his death. The specific name "luciae" is given after the 'Peanuts' character Lucy Van Pelt, as suggested by Jean Schulz, in recognition of Lucy's supremely "crabby" attitude." Includes strip featuring Lucy asking, "Can I help it if I was born with crabby genes!?" |
