Coming Soon 👀 At the beginning of April, you’ll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
what sorts of gift does the “Great Pumpkin” usually bring, Linus? never seen you have anything to brag about like a pencil pack, notebook, a bicycle, a train set, etc.
Gotta feel for P. Patty. Halloween is a great time to get a baseball glove for a present. Just think of a more perfect time to play the game of summer in all those days of November. (Okay maybe they don’t live in Minnesota. Maybe the Peanuts gang moved to Melbourne, Australia.)
Note to Peppermint Patty: Rather than a baseball glove, you could have hoped for toy animal character gloves similar to the ones animal cartoon characters Mickey Mouse, Bugs Bunny, Bullwinkle, and Sonic the Hedgehog wear.
If the Great Pumpkin is really great why would he be offended? It seems this new cult is developing an angry god theology. The GP is to be feared lest his wrath be kindled.
Linus, you gotta publish these stupid rules of yours; you’re kind of an idiot to just assume everyone knows them already. Anyway, the Great Pumpkin can suck my—
I think I see why the Great Pumpkin never caught on. Not only is it weighing between a chance of present vs bag of candy, you can’t even ask for something specific?
Now I’m Confused. I thought Veteran’s Day was in November and we just had a Veteran’s Day strip a few days ago. Did GoComics save this one for today or did they change the date of Veteran’s Day after ’75?
The cornerstone of any religion is having reasons for why you didn’t get what you prayed for. One is that god knows that it’s better for you if you don’t get what you want. The other is that you f’ed up.
Yep, Apple has essentially taken away the tradition of being able to see the Charlie Brown holiday specials on regular TV. But sadly they don’t seem to understand that. People don’t want to have to go onto their service to see them, they want to see them on actual TV like they used to be.

YES! When the Great Pumpkin doesn’t appear, it will be Patty’s fault for offending him.

The only way to appease the Great Pumpkin will be a sacrifice now, Peppermint Patty.

Linus already has his non-appearance-of-GP excuse ready and waiting.

Your Great Pumpkin is a harsh and unforgiving Great Pumpkin, Van Pelt…

Nice going PP, you’ve just exposed the REAL reason for your belief, the “what’s in it for me” syndrome!

The Great Pumpkin doesn’t have an email address! He’s not Santa Claus!

Linus, it’s that firm and righteous holy belief in the Great Pumpkin of yours that cost you your chances in student council.

Peppermint Patty never counted on Linus being the Great Pumpkin theologian that he is.

Linus, get a grip.

All patty had to do is wait another 2 months for that glove

We laugh at Linus for believing he’ll receive presents from the Great Pumpkin. Then we go out and buy a lottery ticket.

Santa Pumpkin?

That’s my favorite PEANUTS special; it’s even better than “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

So there IS a key difference between the Great Pumpkin and Santa Claus.

I was not offended, but Pies are scary!

If offending the GP is the worst thing you can do, there must be a punishment greater than the gas chamber.
Setriuno Premium Member over 2 years ago
The Norwegian translation made Linus sound even more like religious about the GP. There,he told Peppermint Patty “Your sin is unforgivable!”

Monday is Halloween and maybe you should have explained all the facts about the Great Pumpkin before she joined you in the pumpkin patch.

Linus is too tochy on the great pumpkin. We thought the great pumpkin is akin to Santa.
