Transcript:
"Linus is standing sucking his thumb and holding his blanket with his eyes closed. Sally is standing next to him with her hands behind her back looking at him. <br> <br> Sally turns with a “SIGH” as she looks at Linus holding his blanket. <br> <br> Sally tells Linus, “I like you, Linus… I like you and I admire you, but I could like you even more if you’d give up that blanket…” <br> <br> Linus takes his thumb out of his mouth and with his eyes still closed says to Sally, “I don’t really care if you like me or not…” <br> <br> Sally turns and has a very angry look as she clenches her fist. <br> <br> Sally grabs Linus’s blanket and pulls it away from him, as he opens his eyes is shock. <br> <br> Sally takes the blanket and throws it up into a tall tree. Linus is standing behind her with his hands up to his mouth and his hair standing straight up as he watches Sally throwing his blanket. <br> <br> Sally turns and has a very mad look on her face as she walks away from Linus. <br> <br> Linus stands below the tree looking up at his blanket stuck in the branches. <br> <br> Linus turns and has a frown and sad face, as his blanket hands from the branch. <br> <br> Linus is sitting against the tree sucking his thumb as he says, “ I look forward to the day when I’ll understand girls..” <br> <br>" dialogue-text,"Linus is standing sucking his thumb and holding his blanket with his eyes closed.

Sally, in part 8, as she stalks off:“JUST what he gets, and DESERVES, for NOT APPRECIATING ME!” Makes you wonder, whatever Linus did afterward—my guess is he either got a new blanket, or waited until it got windy, so the wind would blow his blanket out of the tree. Apparently, it was not the infamous ‘“kite eating tree,”(even if that wasn’t a kite, stuck up there)-I mean, there was the time, when Lucy threw Schroeder’s piano up into the kite-eating tree, and the tree ate the piano, anyway. I wondered if this Sunday cartoon was published at around the same time as the Sunday cartoon, which opens with Sally looking angry, as she sees Linus with his blanket, and snatches it from him, until he promises to marry her, and he does(but not that he means it, you can tell—he just wants his blanket back), that one I just found hereon GoComics—it was published in August, of 1966,so that one came after this one(in the paperback books I have had, that one was always shown, right before this one, I guess because of the similarity of the “plot” in the cartoons.)
