Linus was Mr. Cool (not to be confused with Joe Cool) in a later strip in which, as Snoopy approached, he very calmly said, “Dog, if you try to steal this blanket, I’m going to climb all over you” (won’t swear that’s an exact quote, but it’s close).

It is a little known fact that paleolithic humans would often nail their prey to trees with stone proto-nails to foil predators and rival humans. Whether this behaviour preceded or followed the invention of the “Lost Dog. Reward.” flyer is unknown, but evidence suggests the latter rather than the former.
