I never thought Linus was such a callous creep


That scene where he constantly pinched and pulled Snoopy's nose was played for comedy, but it seemed sadistic and cruel. I always thought Linus was a conservative intellectual, not a horrible bully. He deserved that double kick in the shins. Go Snoop.

He was a conservative intellectual -- but heaven help you if you took his blanket!

Oh come on. How many kids have you seen that didn't pick on their siblings or seem to get into trouble?

My Mom told me a story about how when I was maybe 1-2, I pulled on her pet dog's ear (though I was young and curious-I don't believe there was malice behind it, as my motor skills were still being developed).

You got to keep in mind, Snoopy took away Linus's security blanket. A kid about that age, regardless of intelligence, is going to be possessive about certain objects and won't react possitively if it's taken away from them. And remember, Linus did feel remorse for what he did (referring to it as "selfish and unkind") and even blamed himself for Snoopy's leaving. And if you ask me, he kind of redeemed himself when did that research on Snoopy and found out about Lila.

After looking at it again, yeah it was brutal, but Snoopy started it when he stomped on Linus' foot.

I am man. Hear me whimper pitifully.
