How should I reference a Peanuts comic strip using the Harvard method? Should it be as a newspaper or a book, and if so, how would I go about finding which newspaper and book it is if I only have a publication date? July 13, 1954 if your intrested.

You could reference The Complete Peanuts 1953-1954.

Since a comic strip is syndicated and distributed to newspapers across the country, I'm wondering if you wouldn't instead reference the syndicate, rather than a particular newspaper? Technically, the syndicate could be considered the publisher.

The "Comic Art in Scholarly Writing: A Citation Guide" should get you started down the right path.
