Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 31, 2023

Linus continues to be a show-off.

The square gag was used twice on The Flintstones.

Give it up, Charlie.

The kid’s a genius!

you’re a blockhead Charlie Brown….!!!!

Man, what a square.

Linus proves once again what a square Charlie Brown is.

LOL!!!

Well they tried! Blockhead’s!

Linus should be a wizard. He defies the laws of physics.

Linus is a square.

I’ve never seen these old ones. The Linus square balloons are fun strips. Why they never made their way into the later years? Maybe Sparky’s joke ran it’s course?

Ah – a twist on the original. Now we have a round head in a square hole.

You see? Linus is quite definitely thinking “outside the box”.

Comic physics—gotta love ’em!
