Fun Peanuts character facts
Linus
Linus used to say “Bang” a lot before he could really talk, mostly to mess with his sister (ie, respond to her pestering) or deal with other people
He gave Violet a bundle of French fries wrapped with a rubber band once…
has a weird set of otherworldly abilities; blowing cubed balloons, talking to leaves (stars too), asking a beachball to return from the ocean if I recall correctly, petting birds and getting them to like him
Linus gets increasingly stronger and more blunt/threatening towards Snoopy for constantly trying to take his blanket
Linus wants to be a doctor most of the time
Offered to shared his blanket with Charlie a few times
Kissed Peppermint patty on the cheek to comfort her; “Like this, sweetie?”
Kissed Frieda’s hand after she expressed that carrying a blanket around isn’t a bad thing
He gives a girl named Eudora his blanket because her smile was cute - he regrets it and fails to retrieve it himself - she kisses him on the cheek, calling him a “sweet babboo” - Eudora is Sally’s friend lol
Schroeder
Charlie introduced piano & Beethoven to him
As a baby, Charlie put him in front of a real piano (as opposed to his toy one) and he cried
He specifically said baseball is one of his loves, besides playing music & Beethoven
Found baby Linus fascinating as he resembled Beethoven
Before Lucy was obnoxious to him, he told Charlie that Lucy has beautiful eyes
Threatened to beat up Lucy if she scratches his piano with her elbows
When Lucy moved briefly, he missed her presence; some say it’s out of character, [I think he doesn’t miss her as a person at all but he does miss the routine of having someone who listens to his classical playing even if it’s for shallow reasons, idk I sorta relate]
Regularly listens to Charlie Brown’s venting back in the day
The one character who stands up for Charlie Brown (multiple times)
Spoke in agreement with the girls that Charlie looked cute surrounded by dandelions
Whatever subtext in that 70’s Blue Boy strip
Charlie Brown
Was briefly a couple (of sorts) with Violet
Violet had a weird mud pie era where she’d serve them to Charlie and Charlie would consume them
Enjoyed messing with the girls back in the day, I’d say he’s capable of being a subtle tease aged up
Has gone on a carnival date with Peppermint Patty
Often cheers up Linus and defends him from Lucy
Often defends and shows interest in Schroeder’s love of music - he went out of his way to save Schroeder’s piano from the kite-eating tree and the sewers after the nonsense Lucy pulled
Was the original one to lean on Schroeder’s piano, they often engage in actual, normal conversation
Often seen reading to Schroeder Beethoven’s biography or Mozart’s
Schroeder and Charlie Brown tried to play music together a few times but they could never find fitting music for the improvised instruments Charlie would bring
Makes conversation with the kite-eating tree; has offered to feed it a kite in defeat and also bit the tree out of revenge (the tree world fall in a following strip)
Has some sort of mommy thing goin on
“Poor, sweet baby”
Edited to add: Lucy has a weird thing for Charlie’s “toesies”
Sally
Started off kinda picked on by the other kids like her brother but grows up to be more assertive
Has a penchant for comedy
She talks to a fucking school building and it “talks” to her
The school building falls for her???
She talks to the new building after the previous one fucking collapses
Marcie
Had a guy named Floyd call her “lambcake” and cute
She thinks she’s not cute
When she’s angry, she hits well
Definitely has a fighting spirit and a stubbornness that flares up
Says she doesn’t like sports but does decently at it
Speaks fluent French
Edited to add: says she’s not ready for a boyfriend but would marry Charlie Brown
Franklin
He’s like the nicest character
He’s the sanest; he left Charlie’s neighborhood thinking it was weird
I just think it’s funny how he actually finds the running gag personality traits of the others so strange, I had to include him despite his minimal appearances
Pig Pen
Got picked on a bit in the early days for his dirtiness; but he handles it better than Charlie Brown, he doesn’t seem to really mope
Apparently enjoys cleaning and taking baths, he just gets dirty real quick
Charmed Peppermint Patty into falling in love (the two enter a sort of unofficial relationship)
Peppermint Patty
Has a sentimentality that mirrors Chuck
Her dad calls her a “rare gem”
Says she likes beautiful material things, earrings, and certain sparkly outfits too
Originally pierced only one ear
Her nose is big and she’s real sad about it
Really likes to take moments with Charlie to be sentimental; often talks about how she wishes to be “beautiful”
She admits with embarrassment that she broke down upon seeing the red-headed girl’s face, because she sees why Chuck loves the girl instead of her (Linus kisses her cheek to reassure her; all around sweet strip)
Called Lucy “Lucille”
I have more to go, but those are some interesting things I’ve read in the comic strips so far.
