Linus' character is supposed to be insightful and smart, but have insecurity issues, hence the blanket, and with Lucy as a sister, it's not so surprising. lol In comparison, Lucy is nicer to Rerun and not as bossy, compared to how she is with Linus. I wish I could remember which strip featured him with the blanket for the first time, but my mind is blank.

Oh, Rerun has also gotten on Linus for his belief in the Great Pumpkin. Still funny how he somehow managed to combine Christmas with Halloween.

As for Lucy, she didn't really start off bossy and stuff. She was nicer in the beginning and even excited when her baby brother Linus was born and how happy she was when he sat up for the first time.

Too bad Rerun did not make it into the film. The only other one I do not believe was present was Shermy.

Here is the debut of the blanket with its own profile. Its debut was June 1st, 1954 roughly two years following Linus's debut.
