Linus!
Wonder if Schulz had a plan for introducing Linus this way, or made the joke and then later decided he might as well introduce the character.
On one hand, Lucy is being selfish and heartless. On the other hand, she’s reacting like any older sibling would. That baby has replaced her as the center of attention and she feels forgotten.
It’s a completely understandable reaction, but it’s pretty heavy, even for early Peanuts.
