Star Wars Valentines... the unanswered questions

I noticed boxes of Valentines for sale in the drug store yesterday, including Star Wars ones. My first reaction was that a box design prominently featuring Darth Vader's scowling visage and flames, as was used for the unifying 2005-era designs, isn't the most romantic image I can think of to go with Star Wars. I did pick up the box out of idle curiosity, though, and saw examples on the back with Anakin and Obi-Wan and Yoda and the droids. From there, I started wondering if Padme had somehow been left out. Still, in thinking about it, I can just manage to imagine these Valentines being aimed at young boys to give to the girls in their classes.

Time warp!

The Sunday page reprinted today on the Peanuts site (it'll stay up for a month in the archives there, then vanish into limbo) caught my attention. In the opening panel, Lucy proclaims "nineteen-sixty has just begun!", and I had a sense rather stronger than usual of staring into the past. I suppose it means exactly nothing in the grand scheme of things, and I can wonder how many newspapers are reprinting that opening panel these days, but I did also think back to a reprint book I once saw that changed a punchline of Sally's, "Welcome to 1962!", to "Welcome to 1969!" I suppose you can be surprised one way or another.
