  1. Although their attire doesn’t suggest it, the only logical explanation is that they crossed over the Bering ice shelf in winter.

    Now, as a parent, that second panel scares the bejeezus out of me. Driving safety standards in 1963 sure were different.

  2. I always figured Linus would be the one to defect, what with the red shirt that he wears all the time…

  3. This wouldn’t have happened if Charlie Brown would just learn to slow down instead of Russian all the time.

  4. “You’re a Good Worker, Charlie Brown.”

    “Happiness is a Warm Proletarian Dictatorship”

    “In Russia, kite eats tree!”

    “You Bloc-head!”

    “Stop calling me ‘sir’, comrade!”

    “That’s what May Day is all about, Charlie Brown.”

    “Well! Here comes ol’ Charlie Brown! Good ol’ Charlie Brown…yes, sir! Good ol’ Charlie Brown…how I hate capitalism!”
