"Good Grief" episode gag?

When George Sr. (Pop-Pop) is in Mexico and is walking through the streets with the sad "Charlie Brown" music playing, you can see something is written on the wall he walks past, like "P.P.5.P." or something like that. You can see it in this image:

Is this an in-joke I'm not getting? I'm on my fourth run-through of the show and there are jokes I'm just now getting (like "Seaward" meaning "C-word" when it's first referenced.) I know the episode is full of Charlie Brown references. Is that one of them?

OR WAS I JUST NOT SUPPOSED TO CARE HUHHHH???

This will explain it for you (it's P2252 by the way):

Despite Mitch stating that it was just something random written on the wall, this is an amazing coincidence considering that the "Charlie Brown" sad walk is being done in the same scene:

P2252 maybe be short for "Peanuts 1922 1952", where 1922 is the birth year Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, and 1952 is the year Peanuts debuted as a Sunday strip.
