Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for May 06, 2023

separation anxiety sure is tough, isn’t it?

It must have been rough on Linus before the advent of dryers.

And it’s soft and warm from the dryer; a security hug.

Maybe he should have a spare blanket!

At that time, Lucy wasn’t in her bury/burn the blanket phase.

A complete 180 degrees from how Lucy would treat Linus and his blanket later on.

Poor little Linus.

Is this the first appearance of the security blanket?

When this appeared in 1955 we were having “duck and cover” drills at my public school in NYC in case the Russkies dropped an atomic bomb on us. We had also been issued dog tags three years before so we could be identified in the aftermath. I didn’t have a security blanket but we all probably should have been issued those too.

Security Blanket addiction.

We all need a security blanket.

Wait till their blanket-hating Grandma shows up!
