Camper Van Beethoven is an American rock band formed in Redlands, California in 1983 and later located in Santa Cruz and San Francisco. Their style mixes elements of pop, ska, punk rock, folk, alternative country, and world music. The band initially polarized audiences within the hardcore punk scene of California's Inland Empire before finding wider acceptance and, eventually, an international audience.Oh, I've made another one of my silly mistakes. I mean the one born in 1770.

Clearly this is a very important day for one member of the Peanuts gang, and I'm not talking about Charlotte Braun.

It's a day to celebrate the best way I know how: with cake.

Did you know that many other famous people were born on December 16? Wow, that maternity hospital musta been crowded.
Still, there's no reason not to celebrate the works of this unforgettable man.

It's my anniversary too! We picked it because it was Beethoven's birthday so that we could remember it.
December 16 is also my father's birthday! (I don't know why he picked that day.)
Happy birthday, MrJM Sr.!!!

[clears throat] Camper Van Beethoven was actually a pretty good band.
Schroeder's just-a-kid body language on the fence in that 1953 strip is great, and Charlie Brown's leather jacket suggests a whole new (Red K? Mirror Universe?) character but we reallllly have to talk about what Pig Pen's reading at his age.
Pig Pen loves dirty books.
