Peanuts has its share of adult characters, which are usually unseen - like Linus' favorite teacher and the object of his adoration, Miss Othmar. It's common for adult characters to have implied dialogue and for the strip to only show the Peanuts kids' side of the exchanges.
He is proven right when Linus tells Lucy that his teacher understands him, only for Lucy to retort that to understand Linus, the teacher is either a genius or very green in her job. Linus is a tad eccentric, so Lucy's statement, rude as it may be, is not totally out of the realm of possibility. Regardless, for a student to feel like their teacher understands them is the highest compliment, so Miss Othmar is definitely on to something.
7 "Who's Miss Othmar?" October 15th, 1959 A lot of adults, and even fellow kids, have an issue with Linus's attachment to his security blanket. Linus typically will go to great lengths to keep his security blanket safe and close by, even with the myriad naysayers who insist he get rid of it or even try to hide it from him. Linus comes to a crossroads when his beloved Miss Othmar, who he cannot stop talking about, always singing her praises, speaks out against blankets.
Finally, Linus does remember to get the eggshells and actually brings them to class - only to find Miss Othmar is not at school, because she is getting married and will be quitting. However, her absence will not deter Linus from giving Miss Othmar her requested eggshells, so he plans to give her a wedding present. Unfortunately for Miss Othmar, the wedding present from Linus is a box of eggshells.
Linus's heart is in the right place, and he is incredibly thoughtful and kind-hearted to want to bring his teacher something to make her feel better. ✕ Remove Ads 2 "A Certain Kind of Question" September 11th, 1973 After Miss Othmar is fired in a shocking and distressing turn of events for Linus, his unease does not last forever, with Miss Othmar getting hired back on September 11th, 1973. As seen in the strip, Miss Othmar has been back in school for a while, if the-business-as-usual attitude held by Linus and Charlie Brown is anything to go by, especially now that they both have her as a teacher.
