Peanuts by Charles Schulz for December 12, 2013

Linus is losing it.

Linus has developed a Napoleon Complex.

We can’t make snowmen around here. It’s too cold for the snow to pack.

Just remember what happened to Il Duce, Linus.

Or, he could just be using his imagination and having fun.

Linus anticipates Calvin by 20 years.

Or, Waterson pays Schulz a big compliment 20 years later… Nice homage, if that’s what it was. Too bad gocomics isn’t running both threads concurrently.

Gotta make time to inspect the troops.

“Carry on Troops, I’ll be in the area all day.”

“Snowmen, I salute you!”

Linus inspired Calvin.

“No snowman ever won a war by melting for his country. He won it by making the other snowman melt for his country.”

Linus’ walk shows the carriage of command.

It’s extremely rare for a Peanuts strip to have no dialog at all. I wonder how many others there were.

Just wondering… Does Lucy ever call Linus a blockhead too or is it only Charlie Brown who gets that name?

Because if Lucy were in today’s strip… That’s the name she would use. Or something worse.

Snow Minions.

Time to greet the troops.

What Hitler complex? I seriously doubt that Linus is performing a Nazi salute!!!!!!!!!!

Linus Hitler?

geez no dialogue?!!!…what’s the matter??!!!….oh Linus saluting the snowmen so he not saying anything, eh????!!!!!!!!

I did that when I was a kid, too.
