Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 09, 1955
Transcript:
Charlie Brown points to Snoopy as he walks by. He says to Lucy, "There goes man's best friend.." She replies, "Huh! That's all You know about it!"<br> <br> She raises her hands and continues, "When the going gets really tough, and when it seems that the whole world is against you..."<br> <br> She exclaims passionately, "And When You Don't Think You Can Stand It Any Longer..then you'll know.."<br> <br> She points to Linus who is holding his blanket. She concludes, "Man's best friend is his blanket!"<br> <br>
Interesting how Lucy’s attitude toward Linus’s blanket habit evolved over time. Here she’s all for it, and before too long she’s taking it from him, and finally she goes full-tilt control freak over breaking him of it.
