The changing colors of leaves in autumn is, of course, the season’s most recognizable feature. It is the time of year when the green leaves turn to the warm colors of red, orange, and yellow, as well as the neutral color of brown.
In thisPeanutscartoon,Linus begins to catch on to the seasonal change of the leaves,getting frustrated that he sees no green ones, only the Fall colors.An older comic strip ofPeanuts, Linus was younger, therefore, not as experienced in the world as he would appear in later comics. As a result, he is a lot more inquisitive about the world, a trait he would retain even after he gained more life experience.

Admittedly, winter is not as fun for the pup, with his deathly fear of icicles hanging over his doghouse putting a damper on the frosty season.

In contrast,when Marcie discovers that throwing a football at Peppermint Patty’s head bounces right back to her, she changes her tune and finds that she actually might like football; the way she plays, at least.

First Published: Aug 07, 2025
Sally’s school reports always tend to be interesting, in spite of – or, honestly, because of – her frequent inaccuracies. Seeing the world in a way that only a child can, whatSally lacks in stone cold factsis made up for her in a wholly childlike perspective. When she recites her report on autumn, she makes a joke about what a terrible alternative it would be if leaves fell from rocks, rather than trees.
Sally seems to be the only one who finds her joke during her report funny, with her teacher definitely not amused. While Sally could’ve stuck to delivering an intelligent report on autumn, she prefers to go the humorous route, wanting to make herself and her classmates laugh. One can’t fault her for not wanting to take things so seriously, but it likely goes without saying that she won’t be receiving the best grade on her autumn report.

1 Charles Schulz Quote Explains Why Fans Still Root for Charlie Brown - Even After 74 Years
Charlie Brown fans know the ball is going to be pulled away before he can kick it…but for nearly 80 years, that hasn’t stopped them from loving him.
In subsequent strips, which extend this plot, Linus explains that he was speaking to the leaf because leaves do not have anyone else, and they need guidance in their journey from the tree to the great wide world. The fact that Linus tells the fallen leaf in this comic that it will “never be happy here” is a surprisingly touching insight into what Linus thinks of the world, but nevertheless, it’s admirable that the little guy’s heart is in the right place, even if it is a super weird thing to do.

First Published: June 11, 2025
Windy days are a big part of autumn, which many tend to love, but Charlie Brown’s friend in this comic strip seems to hate them more than most.

How could life go on if dogs' ears wouldn’t flap? As helpful as Snoopy tries to be, he may not be the most persuasive with his point, but other dogs would surely agree with the beagle. While Snoopy’s benefits of the wind may not be as scientifically based or informed as Charlie Brown’s speech, one cannot argue that Snoopy’s ears flapping in the wind remains pretty adorable.

First Published: July 04, 2025
Among thePeanutsGang, Linus is the one who values peace the most, which usually leads to him trying to be a mediator to those around him. At times, he even exhibits maturity beyond his years. Likewise, he enjoys the simple things in life. Case in point, he loves the fall staple of taking a walk in nice autumn weather, then having a hot chocolate at home, though a more unorthodox part of his Fall routine involves sitting in front of a warm television.
For fans of the classic Cartoon Network seriesEd, Edd, and Eddy, the character of Johnny carries around a plank of wood called appropriately enough Plank. However, the character was originally supposed to carry around a security blanket, but it was deemed to be too similar to thePeanutscharacter, Linus, so the idea was nixed.
Knowing what he likes, Linus can count on his autumn routine to bring a smile to his face. While many would consider pumpkin carving or bobbing for apples beloved Fall activities, Linus’s more subdued ventures are just as fun and autumn-centered for him as any of those other actions.
