Geocache Description:


Security Blanket

Linus' security blanket features prominently in many of Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strips.

The blanket was first introduced in the comic strip from June 1, 1954, and was featured throughout the remainder of the strip's run. In the Peanuts strips in which it appears, Linus can be seen carrying the blanket around and sucking his thumb. Storylines involve Lucy trying to do away with the blanket, disapproval of it from Linus and Lucy's unseen grandmother and Snoopy frequently trying to take it for himself. Toward the end of the strip's run, however, the security blanket appeared less and less, usually only when a crucial plot point in the strip required it, and it seems that Linus was starting to outgrow it. It has recently been noticed that during Linus's famous Scripture recitation in A Charlie Brown Christmas, Linus drops the blanket as he says "Fear not!" He then picks it up and carries it offstage after he finishes his recitation.

Linus' blanket has the ability to be reshaped into nearly any form and be put to many different uses.

These are:
security blanket (primary use), blanket whip, a stylish neck scarf, a quilt for Lucy's doll's bed (she cuts a square out from the middle of the blanket), various representational shapes for a "flannelgraph" (Lucy at work with her scissors), flannel squares to clean Linus' glasses (Lucy and her scissors), Lucy's kite, a penguin, a parachute, two sports coats (one for Snoopy and one for Woodstock), a hospital robe for Spike, a cowboy's neckerchief, a bullfighter's cape, a whip or insect swatter ("fastest blanket in the West"), a pool table felt, a hammock, a big bow tie, a slingshot, second base, Dracula's cape, a bunny, a monster that hisses at Lucy and attacks her (the blanket's own transformation), a "paper" airplane, and a cummerbund.

In the world of the television specials, Linus most famously turns his blanket into a shepherd's headdress, in A Charlie Brown Christmas.
