November 17, 1953: Lovecraftian horror!

Read this strip at gocomics.com.

Oh it's not Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos; or Shub-Niggurath, Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young.  It's just Linus.  Just little, innocent Linus!

OR IS IT?

This is a retread of the "girls in stadium boots" strip from just ten months back, although the horror is more vague here.  Notice that it's entirely Charlie Brown who's getting worked up.  Lucy knows exactly what's going on.

  1. ... I don't know about you, but this strip always freaked me out as a small child. Sleeping bags with SLEEVES?

  2. These types of sleeping bags are now the recommended way to prepare infants for sleep, as they're safer than blankets(!), which can pose a suffocation risk. Linus was a baby ahead of his time!
