Charlie Brown in black and white next to Linus who's holding his blanket and sucking his thumb.
Summary Peanuts was created by Charles M. Schultz in 1950, and ran until Schultz’s death in the year 2000. That’s half a century of comic strips featuring the utterly iconic Linus, Lucy, Snoopy, and - of course - Charlie Brown. And with every comic, Peanuts confirms exactly why it's so popular, not only throughout its syndication, but in a timeless way, making it a staple in the hearts and minds of fans all over the world.
Some might assume the blanket held some kind of unspoken sentimental value, but the truth is that Linus just feels better when the blanket is with him, and that's made clear right from the start with this historic comic strip. Charlie Brown knows his head is big, and the comic strip has made it a running joke throughout the franchise . And in this strip, it seems like Charlie Brown is in on the joke, while not letting it keep him from winning hide-and-seek.
Obviously, Lucy was in no danger of being burned by the sun , which is why it's so funny that Charlie Brown genuinely thought he saved her. And the irony of the situation makes it even funnier, as knocking Lucy off the rickety platform put her in more danger than the sun ever did. From beginning to end, this comic is ridiculously hilarious. Charlie Brown knows how absurd this game he's playing with Lucy is, which is made clear by how he sort of trailed off when explaining it to Patty - as if he's hearing it himself for the first time. Then, during the game, readers are left to ponder why these kids are playing this way at all. And then, fans are reminded of a simple truth: kids are weird, and Peanuts has always been great at capturing that weirdness.
