Peanuts by Charles Schulz for October 22, 2022

Yet Linus himself never manages to see the Great Pumpkin year after year.

I think that’s more a Santa ask, Peppermint Patty.

Nothing wrong with putting your faith in two places.

Ask Daddy, he’ll do anything for his rare gem.

Materialism (it makes me a bit sad but it’s OK)

Needed to show my avatar for this arc.

Hey PP, why not rake some leaves & earn enough to buy your own glove. It will be a glove you’ll appreciate and take care of much better.

You’ll have to wait until Christmas P.P.

Peppermint Patty won’t believe anymore when he doesn’t come.

Linus should remind her that sincerity is one of the most important aspects of believing in the Great Pumpkin.

“I have to believe it” …and then what happens when it doesn’t come to pass, PP?

Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who believe that all they have to do is sincerely believe in the Great Pumpkin (whatever its name is), and good things will happen to them.

Starting today: The Halloween 1975 arc.

When perception isn’t reality.

YOU will never have a reason to play baseball in November!

None of us will see the Great Pumpkin this year, as Apple TV has stolen him.

The Great Pumpkin, now I know where Trump got the idea for his spray on tan.

I buy a lottery ticket because I need a “new baseball glove”.

I think any time Linus ropes one of the others into believing this nonsense, the other kid should make a bet with Linus on whether the GP will actually show up. Then it wouldn’t be a total waste.

This cartoon was the only time I heard about the great pumpkin.

I used to see the great pumpkin every year. it was the winner of biggest pumpkin at one of the local county fairs.
