Plenty of cartoonists would have come up with one funny, quirky character, and then wrung it for every laugh they coud get. However, during the first 20 years or so, Schulz was gradually building up an All-Star team of comic strip characters, who he could rotate the focus on to help keep Peanuts from getting too stale (at least, compared to other strips in their fourth and fifth decades).frontdeskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06836902250975348731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38625371245795065.post-71395056162507610092010-11-17T16:32:36.495-05:002010-11-17T16:32:36.495-05:00I think I see Schroeder (2nd in on the right).I think I see Schroeder (2nd in on the right).Boomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08640554274923561337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38625371245795065.post-66840895186878470032010-11-17T16:20:19.391-05:002010-11-17T16:20:19.391-05:00I've always considered Charlie Brown, Snoopy, ...I've always considered Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and Linus to be the "core" characters of the Peanuts universe; at least one of them appears in nearly every strip, and they're the focus of the main story lines. They're followed by the "regulars" who appear a lot (Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, Violet [in the early days], and Woodstock [later on]) and who support the core characters. Then you have the "secondary" characters who appear occasionally (Shermy, Non-Peppermint Patty, Franklin, Marcie), followed by the one-offs who appear only briefly, then vanish.<br /><br />BTW, has any actual kid ever worn a Jughead cap??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
