The half-page final panel of "A Little Something Special" has a small
segment
of music which Scrooge is thinking about. This is not a cartoon shetch of
a few notes, but seems a precise copy of a measure of a real song. I recall
when Schultz's "Peanuts" character Schroeder played his toy piano, there
were often such copies of little segments of Beethoven music (Schroeder's
favorite composer). A few friends and I were able to identify the exact
Beethoven compositions Schroeder was playing in several of these
episodes.
I believe Don Rosa has done something similar here, but I have
not been able to guess what song Scrooge is day-dreaming. Has anyone?
Best wishes,
Larry Giver.
