Tonight is the night when Linus sits waiting for the Great Pumpkin to arrive.
Why does he wait? What is he waiting for? It does seem like the wait must be a theological response to something Linus feels is greater than himself. A search for "great pumpkin" in the Religion (Proquest) database in GALILEO turned up 15 articles dating to 1989. There are humorous, serious, reflective, even German responses to Linus, the Great Pumpkin and God. But no one seems to really know why Linus waits. It's a puzzle.
