The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Alright folks buckle up because it's your boy Marcus Ellery here with another totally unnecessary yet utterly essential Biography Flash and today we’re talking about the one and only the Great Pumpkin. That’s right the horticultural heavyweight who makes Santa look lazy and the Tooth Fairy look like she needs to up her dental hygiene. Now for anybody out there who’s not knee-deep in Peanuts lore yes, the Great Pumpkin is fully fictional. Like crypto earnings or my gym attendance lately. But hey, when you’ve got as much cultural legacy attached to your nonexistent self as the Great Pumpkin you’ve got to be doing something right.

Now let’s talk news—or as much as the 48-hour media cycle can squeeze out of a flying squash nobody’s ever seen. The Cartoon Art Museum just wrapped their sold-out 75th anniversary Peanuts panel and if you think the Great Pumpkin didn’t get a mention well you’ve got less faith than Linus in a corn maze. Mark Evanier led the charge, singing the gospel of Schulz’s seasonal invention to a room full of fellow cartoonists and more than a few grown adults still traumatized by decades of fruitless pumpkin patch vigils. I hope someone brought a blanket for emotional support.

And get this: With today marking the actual *Peanuts* anniversary—seventy-five years since Charlie Brown got his first existential crisis—The Essential Peanuts launched with a whole section devoted to the TV specials. That includes the 1966 classic It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown the only televised event where the main action is literally “waiting for something that may never happen.” I call that Tuesday after work.

Meanwhile Unique Vintage just dropped a fashion line inspired by It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. Because nothing says “high fashion” like commemorating the only Halloween icon who’s more rumor than reality. So if you spot someone in a Peanuts-print bomber jacket this week, just know they might still be waiting for their checks from the sincerity bank to clear.

Social media has also been churning with #GreatPumpkin posts thanks to the seasonal reruns. TikTok and Instagram are littered with people staging their own doomed pumpkin patch stakeouts or re-enacting Linus’s annual heartbreak using every filter known to man. I saw one kid review the Great Pumpkin’s “annual no-show” as the ultimate soft ghosting move. Kid’s got a point.

Major headlines today? It’s all anniversary retrospectives, cultural nods, and a couple of clickbait hot takes claiming the Great Pumpkin is due for a gritty Netflix reboot. You heard it here first—pumpkin noir coming soon, probably starring Oscar Isaac and an emotionally unavailable gourd.

Alright that’s your update on the life—ahem, lore—of the Great Pumpkin. Remember, if you want more wild biographies on real and fake legends, subscribe so you never miss an update and search “Biography Flash” wherever you forage your audio treats. Thanks for tuning in, stay sincere, and hey, may your pumpkin patch always be a little bit weirder than your neighbors.

The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

If you’ve spent the past few days scouring social media for breaking news about The Great Pumpkin, the elusive cult hero of the Peanuts universe, I hate to break it to you but—spoiler alert—he’s still not real. And, somehow, that only makes the legend grow. Over on X, formerly known as Twitter but absolutely still a pumpkin patch in terms of useful information, the annual debate exploded: “Is it finally time for Linus to stop waiting?” My favorite reply: “My team waited on the Yankees for a World Series longer than Linus waited for the Great Pumpkin.” You tell me which is sadder.

Now, let’s talk headlines. The gourd that launched a thousand memes is having a quiet news cycle, but don’t underestimate his power. Just yesterday, Variety reported that Apple TV+ extended their exclusive Peanuts mega-deal through 2030—which means every year until then, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” will continue haunting your streaming queue like an October ghost of childhood FOMO. If you can't stream it, you can always find bitter souls online blaming Apple for taking away the free broadcast, which remains the true modern Halloween tradition.

In biographical significance, this week is huge for Peanuts fandom. We’re days away from the 75th anniversary celebration at the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco. According to the event site, this bash features some serious comic strip royalty dissecting the magic of Schulz, with The Great Pumpkin’s cultural impact a guaranteed topic. There’s even a new book, “The Essential Peanuts,” loaded with tributes to the Pumpkin’s place in the holiday canon. I’ll be the one in the back clutching a coffee and practicing my Linus blanket impression.

Meanwhile, Gen Z revived The Great Pumpkin on TikTok, ironically positioning him as the ultimate gaslighter: “If he shows up, he’s real. If you didn’t see him, it’s your fault for not believing hard enough.” If that isn’t the existential summary of 2025 social media, I don’t know what is.

Long story short: The Great Pumpkin remains undefeated in the biographical game by never appearing at all. His influence is cultural catnip, his sightings strictly limited to Linus’s annual nervous breakdown. And honestly, in this world, reliable disappointment is almost comforting.

That’s all for this “Great Pumpkin Biography Flash.” Thanks for listening—make sure you subscribe so you never miss an update on The Great Pumpkin, and search “Biography Flash” for more irreverently essential biographies. This is Marc Ellery, still waiting in the patch, signing off.

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.

That’s your Great Pumpkin flash. Thanks for tuning in to “Biography Flash.” Hit subscribe to never risk missing the next update on The Great Pumpkin, and do yourself a favor—search “Biography Flash” for more quirky, questionably credible biographies. Catch you in the patch!

The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Welcome, folks, to The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash—the show where we peel away the legend, much like Charlie Brown peels away hope every Halloween. I’m your host, Marcus Ellery, here to chronicle the last few days in the not-so-tangible life of everyone’s favorite seasonal specter—the Great Pumpkin. Yes, it’s that time of year. No, I’m not wearing a costume on air. It’s radio, people.

First, in terms of actual news—because yes, even fictitious gourds get press—let’s address the bombshell that’s been bouncing around social media since last night: still no Great Pumpkin sightings. Twitter—sorry, X, or whatever it’s branding itself this minute—trended #PumpkinWatch2025, with Linus-themed memes and sassy jokes about inflation not just hitting grocery pumpkins, but holiday miracles, too. The best I saw? A photo of a deflated Halloween decoration with the caption, “Waiting for miracles in 2025.” Honestly, same.

Meanwhile, Apple TV+ is reminding the world, repeatedly and with more promotional muscle than Linus’ faith, that It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is streaming—because nothing says childhood magic like redirecting you to a subscription paywall. Remember, this special first aired in Canada in 1966, which is awkward for all those red-white-and-blue pumpkin patch die-hards. The true legends apparently wear plaid and apologize more politely when they don’t see the Great Pumpkin.

Legacy-wise, mainstream press this week is still running deep-dive features on the enduring power of the Great Pumpkin myth. Laughing Squid dredged up odd facts, including how the Peanuts special is basically responsible for Halloween booming from an also-ran to the costumed juggernaut it is today. Credit where it’s due—Linus made believing cool, and for a couple generations, that meant camping out in a pumpkin patch instead of scrolling TikTok into oblivion.

Cultural critics, bless their earnest hearts, have continued to compare Linus’ doomed devotion to the Great Pumpkin to everything from political partisanship to the eternal optimism of playoff-bound Chicago Cubs fans. If you ever feel foolish for believing, remember: millions of kids, every October, empathize with a cartoon boy who gets mocked by his friends and ghosted by his imaginary gourd-hero. Honestly, relateable content.

I also saw a hilarious TikTok trend this week—kids “summoning” the Great Pumpkin by throwing pumpkin spice lattes into their backyard. The only thing that showed up was a squirrel and a lawsuit threat from Starbucks. I’ll take that as a historical footnote for the 2025 biography edition.

So to recap: the Great Pumpkin is, as ever, a no-show, but its legend is thriving—living proof that sometimes the best biographies are unfinished, ambiguous, and inexorably memeable.

The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

You want the latest and greatest—or the weirdest—reports on The Great Pumpkin, so buckle up, fellow seekers of seasonal myth. This week, as pumpkin spice continues its hostile takeover of all known beverages, The Great Pumpkin once again elbowed its way into the discourse like your uncle who’s late to Thanksgiving and loudly announces he’s brought his new keto stuffing.

Starting with the headlines, here’s the scoop: No, The Great Pumpkin has not yet been sighted IRL by any Linus trailing hopefuls in actual pumpkin patches, despite the annual wave of TikToks and grainy night-vision backyard videos—one of which, I kid you not, was just a golden retriever in a fleece coat. But those didn’t stop X formerly known as Twitter from trending #BelieveTheGourd again last night after a user claimed The Great Pumpkin set off their Ring doorbell. Upon follow-up, it turned out to be a strategically placed butternut squash. Never underestimate the power of vegetable-based cosplay.

In the land of the legitimate, Peanuts and its cast are riding a 75th-anniversary high, as reported by Stars and Stripes, which means more eyes than ever are on the Pumpkin Patch at the heart of Charles Schulz’s world. The Snoopy Museum Tokyo is throwing a whole celebration—Snoopy gets an exhibit, while The Great Pumpkin gets, per usual, speculative side-eye and the undying loyalty of Linus. Some things never change.

Meanwhile, news outlets in the past 24 hours have begun speculating about whether the cultural icon status of The Great Pumpkin will finally get the meta treatment—a limited podcast or docuseries about belief, disappointment, and waiting in the cold for something that never comes. My honest take? Basically a reenactment of my entire 20s.

TikTokers are at it, too: one viral video has teens explaining The Great Pumpkin to adults using interpretive dance and a set of LED-lit gourds. Yes, it’s peak 2025 and yes, I watched the whole thing. Comments section? 50 percent believers, 40 percent sarcastic memes, and 10 percent arguing about whether Snoopy deserves more screen time than the Pumpkin. Old debates, new platforms.

Long-term, let's face it: The Great Pumpkin remains less an actual character and more an idea—a sort of Schrödinger’s Gourd, both real and not, depending on your willingness to hang out in a pumpkin patch after dark. Still, every October, the myth gets a little stronger. Or at least louder.

That's your flash—a week where the only confirmed appearance of The Great Pumpkin was on socks at Target, in a meme your mom sent you, and in the undying hope of anyone who’s ever wanted to believe that sometimes, the most sincere pumpkin patch is enough.

Subscribe so you never miss the moment when—or if—The Great Pumpkin finally rises. And if you want more strange, storied, or suspect biographies, search "Biography Flash". Thanks for listening and remember: The only thing more loyal than Linus in a pumpkin patch is my commitment to bringing you the biographies you never knew you needed.

Alright folks, settle in, and remember to keep your pumpkin spice at arm’s length—no guarantees it survives the next few minutes. I’m Marcus Ellery, your host, celebrity fact-checker, and underdog pumpkin patch enthusiast, here with the latest—yes, latest—on The Great Pumpkin. Because why cover real politicians when I can tackle manifestations of Linus’s seasonal delusions?

First up: the big 75th anniversary bash for Peanuts is still making headlines, which is frankly more than I can say about most things that debuted in 1950. Used Kids Records just hosted this Vince Guaraldi listening party apparently dedicated in part to “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.” Imagine—a jazz-fueled tribute to an entity whose sole achievement is eternal absenteeism. Seriously, Great Pumpkin, call your agent. At this event, highlights included tracks from the Peanuts classics and even voiceovers by the sons of animation executive Lee Mendelson, explaining what those jazz pieces were about—because we all know you need context before you get too deep into existential gourd worship. Every attendant got a free sticker, which is great news for my laptop and even greater for everyone still using notebooks in 2025.

Meanwhile, Snoopy is apparently having a renaissance across social media. While some might see this as the rise of a beloved cartoon dog, I see it as the moment when The Great Pumpkin missed yet another chance to trend. Step up your meme game, o’ mystical squash! On TikTok, “Waiting for the Great Pumpkin” edits are everywhere, proving the youth of today still believe in fictional things that let them down—nostalgic, cathartic, and only slightly less disappointing than my self-watering planter.

In terms of newsworthy developments: there are no statements, no scandals, and not a single Paparazzi shot of The Great Pumpkin, because—and folks, this is crucial—he’s still not real. But the growing cultural nostalgia for Peanuts, especially during anniversary celebrations and social media resurgences, means the legend of The Great Pumpkin (the most famous no-show in all of holiday lore) is likely here to stay, at least in spirit and trending hashtags.

Thanks for sharing your pumpkin patch with me today. Smash that subscribe button if you never want to miss the moment when—just maybe—The Great Pumpkin finally appears, and don’t forget to search “Biography Flash” for more deep dives and awkward seasonal icons. I’ve been Marcus Ellery—rumpled, hopeful, and halfway convinced Linus is still out there somewhere, blanket in hand.

The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

If you thought you’d made it to October without hearing about The Great Pumpkin—and you also thought I, Marcus Ellery, would let that stand—you’re both wrong and very optimistic. So buckle in, it’s time for another “Biography Flash,” diving deep (maybe deeper than the actual pumpkin patch) into recent legend and lunacy around everyone's favorite fictional gourd.

First, because it’s in the air—literally, as Target sets out Halloween decor before Labor Day—the Great Pumpkin is back in public chatter. Social media is doing what social media does best: giving Linus-level devotion to a joke character and then immediately roasting him for it. Hashtag TheGreatPumpkin trended on Friday after a viral TikTok had someone dressed as Linus waiting stoically in a suburban backyard, reciting existential monologues about sincerity while their neighbor ran the leaf blower. Over six million views, and—look, I love performance art, but it’s possible The Great Pumpkin is not arriving during this guy’s HOA-mandated quiet hours.

Major headlines? The culture desk at the New York Times ran a slightly-too-serious think piece debating whether The Great Pumpkin now represents radical optimism, a charming case study in disappointment, or a subtle dig at late-stage capitalism. I’d love to tell you they reached a conclusion, but come on—it’s the Times. They did, however, rope in a couple of Jungian psychologists to opine about how Linus’s faith in the Pumpkin could be viewed as a stand-in for our inability to let go of comforting myths. That’s either insightful or it means my therapist should start billing me Peanuts royalties.

Meanwhile, in the world of official mentions, the Peanuts franchise is marking its seventy-fifth anniversary. So naturally, some eager marketer pitched: what if this is the year The Great Pumpkin finally appears? Online petitions want Apple TV to give Lucy a jump scare she never sees coming. And as for merch? If you haven’t seen Great Pumpkin cereal at the supermarket, you’re not trying hard enough. Honestly, my Saturday breakfast now has more orange dye than fruit.

Despite all this, let’s remember: The Great Pumpkin is pure fiction—a character Charles Schulz invented in 1959 as Halloween’s answer to Santa Claus. That hasn’t stopped thousands of people from posting midnight pumpkin patch selfies with captions like “still believing.” If faith moves mountains, Linus is moving produce.

Anyway, that about wraps it for this installment of “The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash.” Thank you for joining my little patch of geekdom. If you enjoyed this, subscribe to never miss an update on The Great Pumpkin, and if you want more, just search “Biography Flash.” And if the Great Pumpkin really does show up, I promise, you’ll hear it here first—likely with me screaming in the background.

The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Okay folks, it’s Marcus Ellery here, and today, we’re flashing the big Christmas lights on one of fiction’s weirdest, most lovable nonentities: The Great Pumpkin. Yes, it’s time for another “Great Pumpkin Biography Flash”—the only podcast episode guaranteed to have fewer sources than an actual Pumpkin sighting.

First off: as of Sunday, September 28, 2025, The Great Pumpkin is very much still fictional. He’s still hanging out exclusively in the mind of Linus van Pelt—and also on Twitter, though at this point, who isn’t?

The most “newsworthy” event—or as close as we get to headlines with invisible gourds—involves the “Taking Care of Each Other” Peanuts exhibit in Worcester, which is set to roll out their actual 200-pound Great Pumpkin replica! Move over, Stonehenge, your mysteries have met their match. According to the Worcester Guardian, this pumpkin is neither great nor magical, but it is heavy enough to injure someone’s big toe if you’re wearing the wrong shoes. If you’re in the neighborhood on October 4, bring your Linus blanket for emotional support and check out what is very much a real squash and not, as Linus would say, “the most sincere pumpkin patch anywhere.”

Social media’s been ablaze—okay, maybe it’s more of a flicker. TikTok trends this week show a spike in #greatpumpkinchallenge videos, with teens pretending to wait all night in their gardens for the big gourd’s arrival. Spoiler: nobody makes it past midnight, and the closest thing to a supernatural experience is the neighbor’s cat vomiting in the begonias. There’s also been a bump in Peanuts-inspired memes—my favorite is the one where Linus is texting the Great Pumpkin for Uber status updates. The Great Pumpkin, as usual, leaves him on read.

No signs so far that The Great Pumpkin will be making any biographical leaps—no team-ups with the Easter Bunny, no Netflix deals, no campaign for President 2028—yet. The guy’s entire brand is not showing up, and he’s sticking to it like a method actor. But the Peanuts franchise is celebrating its 75th anniversary right now, with a deluxe edition book out from Abrams Books. That means lots of nostalgia, lots of Snoopy, and—yup—inevitable questions about why the Great Pumpkin never gets a special of his own. Linus, if you’re listening: still holding out hope for you, pal.

In short: The Great Pumpkin’s biggest news this week is his continued absence and, if we're honest, his enduring legendary status as a fictional entity who does even less than Bigfoot but still gets fan mail.

That’s all for this “Great Pumpkin Biography Flash.” Thank you for tuning in to the only podcast where absences somehow count as breaking news. Hit subscribe so you never miss an update on The Great Pumpkin, and remember: if you want more surprising biographies, just search “Biography Flash.”

Keep waiting—maybe next year’s the one.

The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

So, big scoop, folks: the Great Pumpkin is trending again. Yes, that Great Pumpkin—the mythical leafy giant who’s been ghosting Linus van Pelt for nearly sixty years, still racking up more no-shows than my gym buddy in January. As of this week, there’s not a single photo of the Great Pumpkin at the Emmys or even caught leaving a Soho pumpkin patch, but on social media, he’s making more waves than a pumpkin spice latte spill on white jeans.

Here’s what’s hot: with the Peanuts franchise celebrating its 75th anniversary—seventy-five, you heard me, folks, it’s got longer legs than any influencer scandal—old-school holiday specials are getting a big push back into the spotlight. *It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown* is doing its annual parade across cable and streaming, bringing with it the annual internet discourse. #GreatPumpkinWatch2025 was somehow trending last night. People are posting TikToks of themselves waiting in pumpkin patches, wearing striped Linus T-shirts, trying to summon the Great Pumpkin like he’s the Mariah Carey of Halloween. Spoiler alert: still no arrival, but plenty of sincerity and one viral video of a confused squirrel.

On the news side, no outlets have reported the Great Pumpkin making an official statement about his continued refusal to show up, but Linus’s undying faith has once again become the object of think pieces and Twitter memes. This week’s spicy opinion: is the Great Pumpkin a metaphor for belief in the age of AI? Because, honestly, who needs unfalsifiable devotion when your phone already believes you’re into pumpkin patches after one Google search?

If you’re old enough to remember, the original 1966 special—which is about as old as dirt and twice as wholesome—is in the headlines thanks to renewed remasters, vinyl soundtrack releases, and some nerdy retrospectives that treat the Great Pumpkin like he’s Bigfoot with better PR. As the Game of Nerds said, this legend isn’t just a gag—it’s “an enduring part of American pop culture,” still inspiring costumes, Halloween events, and my personal favorite, entire yard displays that make my HOA sigh in despair.

So, to recap the last few days in the Great Pumpkin’s biographical timeline: no actual appearances, but in the collective imagination—and on TikTok, X, and whatever the next big thing is—he’s more alive than ever. Sometimes never showing up is the greatest trick of all.

Thanks for listening to “The Great Pumpkin Biography Flash.” Don’t forget to subscribe, unless you want to be the last to know about the next big no-show. Search for “Biography Flash” wherever you get your podcasts, and keep believing—if not in the Great Pumpkin, at least in the power of a good holiday special.
