26 years ago, on October 24, 1999 the iconic Peanuts football gag concluded with the twist of having Rerun, Lucy's younger brother, holding the ball for Charlie Brown to kick as Lucy is called inside. Whether or not he actually *did* kick it, we'll never know.

P1: Rerun, a young boy coming out of the house calling for Lucy

P2: Rerun walking as he says "Lunch Time!"

P3: Rerun approaches Lucy sitting on the ground holding the football with Charlie Brown standing next to her as she tells him "So I'll hold the ball Charlie Brown and you come running up and kick it..." as Rerun interrupts and tells her "Mom says to come in for lunch".

P4: Rerun tells Lucy "She says right now!" and Lucy replies "Oh, good grief!"

P5: Charlie Brown says "That's all right... we'll do it some other time..."

P6: Lucy hands the ball to Rerun and says "No, Rerun can take my place.."

P7: Rerun holds the ball and Charlie Brown prepares to kick it, saying "This time I'll do it! This time I'll Kick it.. Rerun will never pull it away.. he just wouldn't."

P8: Charlie Brown prepares to kick the ball saying "So here we go!"

P9: Complete change of scenery, as we never see if he did kick it or not, Rerun comes in the house and hands the ball to Lucy who asks "What happened? Did you pull the ball away? Did he kick it? What happened?"

P10: Rerun with an unfazed look on his face tells Lucy "You'll never know.." as she is shown gasping in frustration with "AAUGH!" being her main reaction.
