* Charlie Brown drops a fantastic snark on Linus after Linus costs them both the school election. [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1964/10/21 Here's the backstory]], and [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1964/10/24 here's the punchline.]] Especially funny because it's so contrary to Charlie Brown's usual resigned acceptance of failure. Also a moment of Awesome and/or Heartwarming for Charlie Brown, if you find those things in seeing the ol' blockhead stand up for himself.

* In a Sunday strip, Linus has to draw a picture of a family member for a class assignment - he's drawing Lucy's face, finished except the mouth, when she sees him at work. He decides it's a good time to stop, but she insists that he draw in the mouth - he nervously draws it in a wide open shout. She slugs him, and he lies there commenting "It's hard to draw well when your hand is shaking!"
