This might be the darkest Peanuts comic strip I've ever seen.
There may be doubters, but this was published April 29, 1969, and appears in my Peanuts by the Decade book.
I know he didn't shy away from serious themes -- Charlie Brown's incessant depression, Lucy's many manias, Linus' foibles, Peppermint Patty's single parent family. But this is pretty dark for a compact daily strip, rather than a theme throughout his work.
