Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for October 26, 2023

Linus emphatically believes it.

Linus can believe three impossible things before breakfast. Look how he adapted Santa to the Great Pumpkin.

Ah, belief seems to be driven by the want to believe.

This preceded the Great Pumpkin.

Only four more years and Linus will switch his allegiance to the Great Pumpkin.

If it wasn’t for all the religious stuff in Peanuts, I would have thought that this was a slam at religion

What about electric houses with no chimney? !

How does that song go “If only believe in miracles we’ll get by”! Jefferson Starship!!

Skipped Sunday strip from December 18, 1955 – the Sunday strips are rarely related to the weekday strips. But the Monday strip above (12/19/1955) follows the Sunday theme.

“For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.” Stuart Chase

The belief of, “Just in case it’s true…”

“…..not a trace of doubt in my mind. I’m a Believer” Hit song for The Monkees but actually written by Neil Diamond.

Just wait till Halloween comes.Maybe this is how it started, Lucy tells him about Santa, so he thinks every holiday must have a character. But somehow obsesses over a pumpkin.

“I want to believe”……

At least he’s not trying to deny it

Belief is the opiate of the masses…

You tell her, Linus!
