THE PUZZLE CORNER: AUGUST 22, 2015

FUN FACT
Although officially never named in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles Schulz, The Little Red Head Girl was referred to as Heather in the television special It's Your First Kiss Charlie Brown, which Schulz never considered part of the official Peanuts canon.


TRIVIA TIME
Author Ian Fleming is famous for creating British Secret Agent James Bond. But can you name the books Fleming wrote that did NOT feature Bond?

THE FIFTY/FIFTY CHANCE
Just like a regular TRIVIA TIME question, only there are just two possible answers, hence the even odds of getting it right. Ready?

TRUE OR FALSE: In the Peanuts comic strip, Charlie Brown's baseball team NEVER won a game.

We'll reveal all next weekend. But for now, let's open up THE ANSWERS BOX and reveal the results from the August 15, 2015 Puzzle Corner.

The items within each subset below have something in common. Do you know what it is?

02. {Pink, Jay Leno}
