Oh, dude, that's Linus! He's like the blanket guru in the Peanuts gang. Always dragging that thing around like it's his security blanket... oh wait, it is his security blanket. Classic Linus, am I right?
According to 'The Peanuts Jubilee' they supposedly live in St. Paul, Minnesota but according to an old strip containing Linus they live in Pinetree Corners, population 3,260.
You meet him in the island The Great Pumpkin. based off of the peanuts. So he is the same Linus in the Peanuts.
