My question is, did Schulz intend Patty and Shermy to be older than Charlie here? It's clear that he's deliberately drawn Charlie a bit smaller.
ReplyDeleteI remember being four or five years old and thinking of a girl who lived across the street -- who could only have been a year or two older -- as practically a teenager, even almost a grownup, and being thrilled she was willing for me to be around her equally glamorous friends. I'm clearly projecting here, but I can imagine this strip being that same situation.
In other strips Charlie Brown isn't this much smaller than the other two. (I'm kind of surprised I hadn't noticed the great size differential here before....) But I had the impression that he was meant to be a little younger than the other two from other strips.
