The Peanuts crew gets a change of pace in 1990's "Why, Charlie Brown, Why?".
Linus' friend, Janice, is diagnosed with cancer (more specifically, lukemia), taking her out of class for periods at a time. Linus, of course, is concerned, but he, and the target audience, learn about cancer in this episode, which was inspired by a request made to series creator Charles Schulz by the American Cancer Society.
In this winter scene, right before Christmas, Janice returns to school, and Linus has to defend her from a careless bully.
I don't think they did any follow-up with Janice after this one, and should've.
Rating: A.
