Biography Flash: The Great Pumpkin's Loyola Takeover - An Absentee Legend's Power Move
The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Alright folks, it’s Marcus—Marc, with a ‘c,’ so you know I’m the real deal—back with another edition of “Biography Flash.” Today, we’re rolling out the orange carpet for that elusive squash-shaped holiday legend, The Great Pumpkin. Yes, fictional. Yes, completely made up. But hey, when’s the last time reality gave you a magical gourd that only rises for the sincere? Probably about as often as I remember to iron my shirts.
So, what’s shaking in the pumpkin patch lately? The biggest splash in the last 24 hours, believe it or not, came not from Linus freezing his butt off in a field, but from the real world—Loyola University’s School of Communication just wrapped up their “Great Pumpkin Pop Up.” The zany event drew a Peanuts-hyped crowd who painted 108 pumpkins, crushed some trivia, and maybe—just maybe—hoped for a mystical visitation. Turns out the only thing to rise from the patch was a sugar rush, but the event was such a hit they emptied the patch by 4 p.m—and I can’t get three people to agree on pizza toppings, so hats off to them. Media Fellow Anjeli Ortiz apparently ran the show, proving once again that college students can organize the impossible if you bribe them with candy and nostalgia. Loyola’s own Virginia McDermott declared it the liveliest the place has felt in years. All in honor of The Great Pumpkin—who, let’s be honest, is still spending every October ghosting Linus harder than my last Tinder date. According to the school paper, it was all about channeling Peanuts nostalgia and letting students take a breather. Power move, Great Pumpkin. Show up without actually showing up. Very on brand.
Sliding into the media lanes, last week Apple TV trotted out It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown again, igniting the annual debate on social: Is the Great Pumpkin a powerful symbol of childhood faith or, as some X users joked, “the first influencer to go entirely off-grid”? Expect the memes to keep flowing until the last leaf drops. There’s also chatter in Peanuts circles gearing up for the big 75th anniversary, with the Cartoon Art Museum touting a major event in San Francisco soon to honor all Peanuts lore. Will the Great Pumpkin finally RSVP? Doubtful, but hope does spring eternal.
No actual sightings. No statements. Just a lot of students, streamers, and nostalgia warriors keeping the legend alive. Not bad for a fictional squash who’s mastered the art of dramatic suspense... and total absenteeism.
