Lucy Must Be Traded, Charlie Brown is the 42nd prime-time animated television special based upon the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles M.

It was released on VHS and DVD on March 2, 2004, and again on May 1, 2012, as part of a single disc called Happiness is...Peanuts: Team Snoopy.

His apprehension stems from Lucy's constant interruptions with questions, sarcasm, and nonsensical comments, which make him physically ill on the pitcher's mound.

The storyline involving Snoopy's failed trade to Peppermint Patty's team is adapted from a Peanuts comic arc from fall 1967.

This phrasing aligns with the 1967 era of Peanuts strips, as Peppermint Patty did not realize Snoopy was a dog until 1974 and no longer referred to him in that manner afterward.
