They can be a nasty little lot, to be sure, but Violet seems by far to be the most cruel (and, in my mind, one of the most unlikeable). There are many strips in which she takes great delight in *not* inviting CB to a party, or *not* giving CB a valentine... and saying so to his face. Unlike Lucy, whose sarcasm and b**chiness has complexity and reveals some vulnerability, Violet (in later strips, at least) serves simply as a way to validate CB's insecurity and loneliness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
