Today, October 2nd, 2025, marks the 75th anniversary of the first day of publication of the greatest comic strip of all time, Peanuts. And since we have just kicked off our annual participation in the Countdown to Halloween blogathon, here's a Halloween-themed Sunday page from October 30, 1960. This is just one of many thousands of strips by the brilliant Charles M. Schulz (the strip itself ran for 50 years) that is a masterpiece of pacing, characterization, utterly unique situations (this is the first instalment in which Linus refers to the sincerity of the pumpkin patch, and just plain great cartooning. Hope this helps up your Halloween mood while also celebrating the acclaimed comic featuring "Good Ol' Charlie Brown." Watch for more Peanuts coming up in October.
