Linus

A boy sitting down with a blue blanket sucking his thumb

FIRST APPEARANCE:

September 19, 1952

Thoughtful and respectful, Linus is often the voice of reason among his peers. He is a deep thinker and a student of philosophy. Despite his run-ins with cantankerous Lucy, and the fact no one understands why he carries a security blanket, Linus remains delightfully hopeful. He’s certain that this year, the Great Pumpkin will appear…he just knows it…

Linus wore glasses for a short time. Snoopy constantly stole them to torment him.
