In high school art class, one of my best friends airbrushed a giant poster of Opus flying with the ducks as a Christmas present for me. I still have it hanging above my piano & love to look at it every day.<BR/><BR/>Amy...I love your snowflake!

Do you have one? <BR/>Hooray for snow!<BR/>AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15254094071073754002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5334436280392962893.post-47465363822642516632007-12-21T09:52:00.000-05:002007-12-21T09:52:00.000-05:00That is still my personal favorite Christmas speci...That is still my personal favorite Christmas special. Sure, Charlie Brown might be greater, but I videotaped "A Wish For Wings That Work" the first time it aired (the tape has snippets of commercials for things like the original Nintendo system) and have watched it a ludicrous number of times since then. My friend Kevin and I used to yell "ALBATROSS!" at completely inappropriate moments while working in a kitchen together. My sister and I still trade lines ("We're going down! Why are we going down? We're going down because <I>penguins can't fly!</I>") on occasion. <BR/><BR/>Along with the various Peanuts specials, I think AWFWTW is one of the rare cases where people successfully translated a daily comic strip into animated form. It's a tricky prospect, especially since they put voices in the mouths of the characters who you've been hearing in your head while reading the paper every morning. <BR/><BR/>And yes, it always warms my heart when Opus opens the door to see all the ducks with bowties getting ready to take him flying.doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14808726205478989377noreply@blogger.com
