Peanuts by Charles Schulz for June 01, 1954
Transcript:
Lucy and Charlie Brown stand afar watching Linus hold his blanket. Charlie Brown asks, "Why does Linus hold his blanket like that? <br> <br> She replies, "I'm not sure...I think, maybe it gives him a feeling of security..." <br> <br> She looks puzzled as Charlie Brown walks away. <br> <br> She watches as Charlie Brown holds a blanket and blushes. He exclaims, "It doesn't work...I feel like an idiot!" <br> <br>
The term “security blanket” originated because of these strips I believe.
