!!The Football gag



!!!Aren't they a li'l young for a homecoming game?



!!Huh?!



!!The subject of the "Great Pumpkin"



!!Latchkey kids?



***To contextualize some of this, the first ''Peanuts'' strip debuted in 1950 and, while the term "latchkey kid" wasn't in the lexicon at that point, the idea had some of its roots during the time of the comic, where kids were, y'all know, free ranged and the neighborhood kinda raised your kids.
!!The universe says when we're done, Charlie Brown.



!!"I got a rock."



!!Woodstock selling turkey.



!!Again, the universe says when we're done, Charlie Brown.



!!Throwing him a bone.



!!That ain't reading materials for kids, Teacher.



!!!Inviting the Little Red Haired Girl



!!FullNameBasis



!!The Shipping of Pepperming Patty and Marcie



**To kind of address a point, they are eight and so their puppy love for Charlie Brown is just that, puppy love, and so they might not have exactly those same feelings if they were older. To address a second point, well, Peppermint Patty and Marcie to spend ''a lot'' of time together and there's hardly a strip without the both of them.
!!The subject of the "Schroeder"



!!Just lock the door, Schroeder



!!What happened to Shermy?



!!The intended audience



!!The Time Period



!!The Baseball gag



!!CharlieBrownBaldness



***Going by the live-action portrayals in the [=MetLife=] commercials, he's likely blond with a buzzcut.
!!How does a bird and a beagle buy weapons?



!!Missing Holiday special?



!!How does she do her hair



!!Talk about overkill, Principal



!!The Snoopy Merch



!!''Who'' is the Little Red Haired Girl?



!!Stray siblings?



!!In the ''Easter Beagle'' special



-----



!!The Unfinished Halloween Candy



!!Signing up for Summer Camp



!!Marcie's use of "sir"



!!Again, that ain't reading material for kids, Teacher.



!!The Doctor is "IN"



!!Where is the cat?



!!The Missing Letters



!!Demoted to Extra?



!!The Subject of Spike

**As noted above, the other characters were phased out as time went on. There ain't an in-universe explanation but y'all could take it that they moved away, goes to different schools, etc.

* This is the same troper from the above two entries. Anyway, it just bugged me that [[GenericGuy Shermy]] got brother chucked and replaced by Franklin, who was virtually the same, except for the fact [[TokenMinority he was black]]. Wiki/TheOtherWiki or somewhere else once said that Franklin "proved to be more interesting in the long run". How exactly was he more interesting? Are black people more interesting than white people? Does Franklin have better hair? Why Why Why? (I do not hold anything against Franklin nor am I a Shermy fan or a racist, this is just something that bugged me)

** Because the title has to be marketable. You wouldn't want to watch "Play It Again, Lucy & Schroeder", would you?
* In the arc where Snoopy & Rerun bet on a baseball game, why did the PTA have to tell Charlie Brown that he had to forfeit the game? The club seems to operate without the PTA, so why? Did they take over the team before the arc?

*** Unfortunately, Charlie's less 'optimistic' and more 'delusional.' And those happy, friendly Everymen you mention don't suffer near as much as Charlie does at any point in his sad, pathetic life. He's basically [[{{TheSimpsons}} Frank Grimes]] without the sweet release of death that Frank received.

** Everyone refers to Charlie Brown by his full name rather than just "Charlie" because the producers want people to get the idea on which Charlie they're referring to. Same reason Peppermint Patty is called such, to avoid confusion with the original Patty, who had been a part of the Peanuts world since Day 1.

* Okay, while I do understand that every special with "Snoopy" in the title features Snoopy with the lead role, and while I do understand why the specials with Charlie Brown in the main role have "Charlie Brown" in the title, but how come specials like ''Play it Again, Charlie Brown'' (which mainly focused on Lucy and Schroeder) and ''She's a Good Skate, Charlie Brown'' (which primarily focused on Peppermint Patty and barely featured Charlie Brown until the last seven or so minutes) have "Charlie Brown" in the titles?
