Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 22, 2016

That’s like saying that Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny are the same person.

I never questioned Santa’s existence. That was not the point at all. I always believed he is a ghost since only children can see him.

Snoopy’s smarter than the average kid. But then he does own a Van Gogh.

Figures he’d mention the Great Pumpkin, since we’re getting closer to the big day.

Ah, yes, abd their voices sound much like teachers’ do, don’t they?

Rumor has it that the Head Beagle calls himself Xenu and wears magic underwear. Fortunately, Snoop was audited and cleared.

That would explain why Linus thought Snoopy was the Great Pumpkin in the Hallowe’en special.

Or maybe they’re working together

Or maybe they’re working together

New Age before there was New Age….does that make it old?

Who’s the great pumpkin?

And you call yourself Comic Fanboy? (lol)

Okay — I’m sure you want a real answer.

The Great Pumpkin was an annual Hallowe’en trope that Schulz did. TGP is Linus’ version of Santa Claus.

The Great Pumpkin is coming! The Great Pumpkin is coming! Linus and I believe!

Wait! “Who’s the Great Pumpkin?” could mean, detective-fashion, who is he, really?

After all, we’re ruling out that he’s the Head Beagle… and highlighting Linus’s faint-inducing belief that Snoopy’s eerie, ghostlike, shadowy figure is the GP!

Just wish that the Snoopy visit to the HB had gone on for more days!

New math plus new theology equals…….okay, I need even NEWER math to work out what it equals!

now it could be very well

and believe it, they were dropped by met life,, what a shame

watch "Its the great pumpkin Chalrie Brown " it comes on every year" He comes to the most humble pumpkin patch and gives presents to all the boys and girls. Linus belives in him but everyone thinks he’s crazy

Hey, don’t be so mad at Lucy. You know how she is. Besides, she did gave Charlie Brown a chance to kick it once and he ended up kicking her finger. Whether she deserved it or not, she has an excuse on why she’s always pulling away the football.

Interesting moment for a reference to the ecumenical trend in 1960s (70s?) American religious thought and practice.
