Casey Serin and "The Great Pumpkin"

Tonight I watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" with my family, and I realized that Casey is a little bit like Linus.

There's dipshit Linus sitting in the pumpkin patch waiting for The Great Pumpkin to show up like he does every Halloween, just like dipshit Casey chases after "The Great Shiny" every time he has a manic episode or sees another MLM scam.

The main difference, of course, is that Linus isn't a flailing-floorward con artist like Casey.
