* Something about the special ''Snoopy's Reunion'' always caught my attention. We see all of Snoopy's siblings as puppies being adopted by human families. Yet, years later, when we see Spike and Olaf getting notice of their family reunion, they are now living on their own. What's up with that?

** There was one time when Lucy was in the middle of a long speech and didn't seem to be paying attention to Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown started running at the football without warning her, wanting to finally kick it while she was distracted, but she noticed him and pulled it away after all. There was another time when Charlie Brown told Lucy that he was gonna get ready to kick it, but he knew what she was planning so he just left her there and went inside. Lucy kept on waiting for him and eventually fell asleep while holding the football. Charlie Brown looked out the window, saw Lucy sleeping with the football, figured this was his big chance and went to kick it--only for Lucy to wake up and pull it away at the last second.

* For somebody who's had a crush on the Little Red-Haired Girl for so long, you would think that Charlie Brown would've found out her ''name''. But apparently not, because he always calls her "That little red-haired girl."

*** They have competed at times. It's rare, but Marcie royally pisses off Patty during one sequence when they're talking and she's implying Charlie Brown making moves that he sure as hell wouldn't do, if you know what I mean. As far as shipping? People will ship anything.

** It's never specified that the adults are opening the door. The kids who live in those houses could be doing as just a prank. Also, it might not be directed at Charlie Brown. He could just be VERY unlucky.

** As far as I see, Snoopy has BlackBeadEyes, the semicircle is only drawn to show depth when his head is turned or if he's rotating his eyes in some direction.

** Snoopy doesn't have traditional cartoon "round circles with pupils" eyes, but if you look closely, they more resemble commas with a semicircle on top, which is really difficult to re-render in 3-D without creating something that could harm little kids' fingers.

** Shermy's disappearance (as well as other characters) could also be attributed to the changing dynamics of the cast. The strip's dynamics really changed from 1966 to 1971 when Peppermint Patty, Woodstock, Franklin, and Marcie were introduced. It may have been easier to write for these characters than it was for the others.

** Also schroeder was introduced when he was a Baby and couldnt speak. so maybe it is just the bell tag that said schroeder.
** Schroeder is a surname. Most Peanuts characters bear a Germanic surname if they have one-- we have the van Pelts and Reichardts already, and as Schulz mentioned Charlie Brown was basically based on the time when he was a GI, the Browns can be as well be referred as the Schulzs. One needs to note that due to the large amount of Central European immigration into the Twin Cities area in the 19th century, these surnames are very common when Schulz grew up.
