He grew up in an unexpected way. But still has his security blanket.
Oh, Bill. What do we keep telling you about Pop Culture Shock Therapy?
Yeah this is kinda mostly Boxers have towells, Linus has a blanket. He’s sucking his thumb too. This is the “Ha! Isn’t it funny to think of Linus as a psychotic loser because when you get down to it he’s insecure and it’s funny and hip to assume insecure people are psychotic scary weirdos[1]” theme. And Ultimate FIghters are compensating.
Anyway it’s PCST and it thinks it’s enough to show pop culture icons in different situations.
[1] And it’s funny and hip to assume insecure people are psychotic and scary weirdos because someone told us to and gave us a dirty look to imply he would think we were funny and unhip if we disagreed and we’re to insecure to risk that.
Yep. And that’s a pretty darn funny cartoon. Even kind of looks like a deranged adult Linus [although he would be much,much older by now].
“[although he would be much,much older by now].”
Might be an archive photo from 25 years ago.
If he’s going to throw in a tattoo, it should have been something to extend the joke, like the skeleton of a beagle. PCST is simply a waste of time.
I kinda thought he would become a theologian.
@ MiB – Either that, or a philosopher. Linus left (by far) the best impression of any of the “Peanuts” characters; the only other one who came close was Schroeder. Yes, incongruity can be used to produce humor, but I found this attempt simply distasteful.
Patrick – Thanks for the link. What a great image.
Linus was a gentle, intellectual character, perhaps a little passive and weak, and therefore would be the absolute last person to get into MMA — and, at that, he nonetheless still has his security blanket.
As Pop Culture Shock Therapy goes, this one is pretty good.
“Linus was a gentle, intellectual character, perhaps a little passive and weak”
Linus was the only Peanuts character to successfully fight the cat next door. He was very successful because he used his blanket like snapping a towel. I think there was a similar incident during one of the “summer camp” visits. Sorry, with a 50-year history, I can’t be more specific.
