Peppermint Patty is my favorite character. That young lady just did what she wanted and liked who she liked and never took no for an answer

Charlie Brown is everyone, we all can identify with him at some time or another, though of course, of all the Charlie Browns in the world, he’s the Charlie Browniest.

Woodstock was always my favorite Peanuts character. He was the strong silent type. I loved that he was a bright company to snoopy (Loved the snoop too), never talking but a partner, side-kick that was loyal and always there.

After thinking (and overthinking…) I’m going to say Linus. Because of his blanket fixation, he’s easy to dismiss as infantile, but he’s obviously a clever, intelligent kid. So, really, he’s an eccentric, which is what the world needs more of!

Charlie Brown is my favorite because he seems so down on himself sometimes and I find it hilarious.

I would have to go with Snoopy’s brother, Spike. When he first appeared he was comically thin, and then he developed into a more independent dog. It was always fun to see him talk to his cactus friend, or deal with the problems of Christmas in the desert. I found it especially funny when he tried to decorate a tumbleweed like a Christmas tree, but it rolled away.

I love all the Peanuts characters, but I’m going to go with Snoopy’s brother Spike. He’s so bizarre, pathetic and somehow lovable – lives in Needles California with a bunch of cacti, and always looks like he needs a hug.
Honorable mention: Jose Peterson. He didn’t appear in the strip enough to be a favorite, but he was a unique character (half Swedish, half Mexican). He was on Peppermint Patty’s baseball team.

Mine would be Linus because of imagination. I have a very active imagination myself.

Linus, because he always seemed smart and well read.

Charlie Brown, because I often feel like no matter how hard I try, I miss the ball and end up on my ass. Luckily my head isn’t round.

Though I relate the most to Charlie Brown, and had a childhood crush on Marcie, my favorite is Rerun. I always enjoyed his reflections on life from the back of Mrs. Van Pelt’s bicycle, and his pre-school hijinx (the underground cartoonist phase, wanting to run off to Paris with his classmate and getting slapped with harassment charge as a result) showed that even though Schulz’s hand was getting shaky as he got older, his mind was sharp as ever.

Well, I suppose my favorite character was Schroeder. He strikes me as the only fully self-actualized character of the group. Linus still has problems with his sister, and Snoopy, while seemingly confident, does still seem to have plenty of issues as well. Schroeder is there to play the piano and occasionally act as catcher. He knows his role and enjoys/revels in it.

My favorite character in the strip (Schulz hated the title Peanuts, so I won’t refer to that name as well) is Charlie Brown because I identified with him so much in my life. One of the things I have on order through my comics provider is a t shirt that’s just like the shirt he wears.

Peppermint Patti – she reminded me of a few girls I used to know and liked. She was a bit rough around the edges, confident, sometimes a bit bossy, and always true to herself. But there was that underlying sense she wanted better for herself. It was heartbreaking to Patti open up her feelings to Chuck and he’d be so clueless. Missed chances; kinda of like me, in retrospect.

I have great respect for Rerun (Linus and Lucy’s little brother). In his last few years, Sparky seemed to get bored with his original characters, and got some real creative inspiration with Rerun. He was the ultimate outsider in the Peanuts universe: too young to be accepted by the other Peanuts gang, unable to get Snoopy to play with him unless he had cookies to share, unable to get the pig tailed girl to pay attention to him unless he takes her to Paris, always drawing “underground” comics, etc. He gave a real spark to the strip after an uninspired (in my opinion) period in the 70s/80s.

I just loved Charlie Brown.He had it rough but he always tried to keep his head up. What a guy!

Ever since I was a little girl (many many years ago), I related to Charlie Brown. And the first time I watched A Charlie Brown Christmas (on its very first TV broadcast), I totally understood why he picked that scraggly, scrawny tree; in my adult life I have picked many a live Christmas tree that bore a strong resemblance to his tree. I think, in some ways I’m more like Charlie Brown than I really care to admit.

Snoopy.

I was fascinated by all things having to do with flight as a child, so the instant I saw Snoopy sitting atop his dog house in his WWI Flying Ace persona, I was hooked for life.

Mine would also have to be Linus. The imagination to come up with The Great Pumpkin, the wisdom to spout philosophy, the insecurity to need a blanket with him, and having to put up with being Lucy’s younger brother? What’s not to like?

I’ll go with Lucy. She was a little selfish at times, but she knew what she wanted and above all was honest even brutally so at times. Which at times was exactly what the other characters needed.
