[Shell Beau]

1. Snoopy, woodstock, and Linus

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

2. Snoopy all the way

I know..you most closely identify with Scroeder, don't you?

[flamingyouth]

3. Linus & Snoopy

[progmom]

4. Schroeder

[KeepItReal]

Joe Cool!!

[MemphisTiger]

5. Schroder... the ladies man

[JusticeForAll]

6. Woodstock

I love that darn yellow bird.

[soleft]

7. Sally

[Bob3]

8. Charlie Brown

I identified very strongly with him growing up: nothing I did worked out, I was awful, if very enthusiastic at sports, school was a nightmare, and of course I was the regular object of ridicule by my peers. During that time it was nice to know at least somebody - even a fictional somebody knew what it felt like.

9. What? No love yet for the Peanuts lesbians?

[jpgray]

10. They both actually hit on Charlie Brown (or "Chuck" as Patty would say)

So maybe they were bi? :shrug:

[Serial Mom]

11. Three of them ... Charlie, Lucy, Sally

I have 3 kids - boy, girl, girl and when they were around 6,7 & 8 (yes they were very close together) I bought them each a rug hook kit and got Charlie for my son, Lucy for my dark haired middle daughter and Sally for my blonde, youngest daughter.

They hooked the rugs during the winter school vacation and I still have them to this day!

My peanuts! :grouphug:

12. Pigpen? No, Pigpen?

What would Janis think?

[jpgray]

13. I shoved him off my poll in favor of Sally

This could be construed as a white-supremacist poll, as Franklin is missing too.

[henslee]

23. It's all about Pigpen. He was a rebel. There's no southpark w/out pigpen

[progmom]

29. pig pen is on southpark too?

[henslee]

30. No... I was just referring to his dudeness, his subversive qualiites..

SP seems to embody sort of the same... maybe a bit of a reach but hey...

[TlalocW]

14. I see you left off Franklin...

You racist. :)

15. Franklin was the token black guy.

Like on South Park, the only black person besides Chef is the little black boy, Token. And on Not Another Teen Movie, the black (don't know the actor's name) guy makes the only other black guy at the party leave b/c he is supposed to be the "token" black guy!

[hfojvt]

20. So does Boondocks have token whites?

It is hard to have too much of a mix when there are only half a dozen main characters. Wasn't WWII cat a favorite even though he was never shown? Characters came and went. I cannot even remember that one dude's name. Then there was 5, and Violet and the girl with naturally curly hair. Was the kite-eating tree a character? You know you are diverse when trees are characters. No adults though, unless you count the wa wa mutes.

[Shell Beau]

25. Some shows (and commercials) seem to throw in a black character

just to be PC. And it doesn't stop at cartoons. Maybe it is just my imagination. :shrug:

[jpgray]

27. Franklin was introduced in the late sixties, during segregation fights

So he had a little more relevance as a non-white character in the funny pages at that time.

[Shell Beau]

28. I did not know that. That is an interesting piece of info.

[peekaloo]

16. Pigpen and his cloud o' dirt!

[bunkerbuster1]

17. I voted for the uppity woman

[magnetism]

Schroeder

favorite part all time is when he is playing the piano for Lucy during the practice for the Christmas play.

:applause:

[XNASA]

18. I'm torn between Roy and Jose Peterson.

[mosin]

19. Marcie...

smart and a little geeky. My kind of girl.

[Magrittes Pipe]

21. Black Power Franklin

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

22. Impossible to answer - I love them all

Snoopy, probably, but I can identify with Lucy the fussbudget and Linus the smart kid.

[DelawareValleyDem]

24. Shermy

Greatest first baseman since Lou Gehrig. Later played DH.

[elshiva]

26. Lesbian Power= Peppermint Patty (sir)

[scarlet_owl]
