Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 31, 2020

It’s enough to flip your gourd.

Um… Linus, isn’t a pumpkin a squash?

A bit touchy there, aren’t we, Linus ?

Last Night? Was that you? I’m so embarrassed.

Pumpkin, squash, gourd, they’re all the same

Hey Linus, why don’t you carve up some pumpkins into some neat Jack-O-Lanterns? Or does that cut into the “Great Pumpkin”?

Semms to me this is a day early. Tonight is Halloween night.

The Great Pumpkin did not show – it was scooped up by a giant Apple.

I think he feels a little squashed there, Marcie!

Linus, if you cut open the pumpkin and scoop out the pumpkin meat. You can then make a custard and put in a pie-shell. Bake it and you get Great Pumpkin pie.

Marcie “squashed” Linus’s illusion.

Oh, but his hopes were squashed!

In a 1977 Peanuts strip, Marcie called the Great Pumpkin the “Great Grape”.

Oh Great Pumpkin, where are you?

Happy Halloween to my fellow ‘Peanuts’ fans.

Ok, this is probably heretical—- but fill in your own lines after the second panel— such as “Does that happen often to men?”“NO”

Apparently not…..

Linus is a bit touchy when his imaginary idols stand him up.

I wrote a fanmake of the “Great Pumpkin” special inorporating newer “Peanuts” characters into the story, including Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Franklin, Rerun and Woodstock…https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5466442/1/It-s-the-Great-Pumpkin-Charlie-Brown-New-Version

Squash it!

How about some Great Pumpkin Spice?

And that’s sarcasm, Linus.

the Masked Zucchini

Years ago, I saw a cartoon of the Great Pumpkin, drunk, trying to pickup a girl at a bar and saying, “You know, I REALLY need to meet this kid in a pumpkin patch, but I’m getting more from you now!”

Apparently not.

Ever since the watermelon
