kind of a strip. It’s the only way that you can survive

      everything you know into the strip.”

      While Peanuts seemingly introduced one iconic

      character after another, dozens of kids appeared for little

      more than a walk-on role in the strip. José Peterson,

      Thibault, and Cormac all came and went with only a

      handful of appearances to their names. Molly Volley,

      “Crybaby” Boobie, and “Badcall” Benny never became

      global sports icons, and it’s impossible to find any good

      Harold Angel merchandise at Christmastime. Loretta can

      be seen in only two panels in the strip’s fifty-year history;

      Lila’s only in one. Such is the life of a Peanuts supporting

      character.

      But with more than sixty characters in the strip, ranging

      from the true cultural icon Snoopy to the would-be

      licensing superstar Tapioca Pudding, why settle for just one

      favorite character? Maybe you’re one of the Peanuts fans

      who struggles daily with the condition that some scholars

      might call panpeanutophilia, better known as “love of all

      things Peanuts.” (Not many scholars, mind you. But some.)

      Sure, we all love Charlie Brown, but that doesn’t mean

      we should forget Charlotte Braun. Live like Joe Cool, play

      like Joe Richkid. Or Joe Motorcross. Or Joe Grunge. Or Joe

      Shlabotnik.

      You can play marbles with Joe Agate, or you can play

      by the gate with Snoopy’s brother, Marbles. You can have

      truffles with Tapioca Pudding, or tapioca pudding with

      Truffles. For every Patty, there’s a Peppermint Patty, and

      for every Shermy, there’s a Shirley—and a Clara and a

      Sophie, to boot! It’s enough to send you straight to Lucy’s

      Psychiatric Booth for treatment.

      But fortunately, to quote Lucy herself, “as they say on

      TV, ‘the mere fact that you realize you need help indicates

      that you are not too far gone.’”

      Read on and you’ll learn the Van Pelt family tree

      from Rerun to Linus’s blanket-hating

      grandmother, the names of Snoopy’s

      brothers and sister from the Daisy Hill

      Puppy Farm, and the secret identities of

      The Masked Marvel and the mysterious

      Mr. Sack—and you’ll have one less thing

      to worry about as you lie awake in bed at

      night.

      And if that doesn’t work, you can

      always join the French Foreign Legion.

      “I just draw what I think is funny,

      and I hope other people think it is

      funny, too.”

      rom baseball to Beethoven, and from the Six Bunny-Wunnies to War and Peace, the boys in the neighborhood have

      a wide variety of interests and aspirations. Their personalities run the range from the wishy-washy Charlie Brown to

      the un-washy Pig-Pen, whose confidence in himself is unwavering.

      atty was the first girl in Charlie Brown’s life, but she soon had a lot of company, as Violet, Lucy, and Frieda moved to

      the neighborhood. Between Lucy’s status as the future Queen of the World, Peppermint Patty’s athletic dominance,

      and Marcie’s academic excellence, the girls in the neighborhood are second to the boys only when it comes to neuroses.
