Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for September 01, 2018

The debut of Linus’ blanket which will become a running gag for years and years?

And the Security Blanket is born….

Good thing it didn’t catch on with Charlie as well.

My kids all loved their blankets when they were very little. There must be something about them, perhaps an association with going to sleep in a safe place.

Yay, I was waiting for the blanket! A genuine Peanuts milestone.

Ah, the debut of Linus’ blanket!

Goodbye building blocks, hello blanket.

And another Ur-meme is born!

and the introduction of a new term into the English Language: “security blanket,” still being used. It would be interesting to compare Schulz to Shakespeare on how each influenced our language.

You’re not an idiot Charlie Brown, you are a blockhead!

Today everyone should be issued a soft little blue blanket. When Charles Schulz introduced this everybody was trying to learn how to cope with a crazy age vividly depicted (somewhat later) in the dark humor of “Dr. Strangelove; Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” Baby Linus still looks very worried.

Go with the feeling, Charlie…

Interesting to see the debut of … the blanket … for Linus. Definitely a milestone in “Peanuts” history.

But that’s what makes, Linus, unique
