History WMG / Peanuts

** Considering that Snoopy is a non-human who behaves like a human, has lived in several different eras, knows a number of historically-noteworthy people, is far more intelligent than he appears, has a constant Companion, and lives in a shelter that's bigger inside than outside...Holy Rassilon, Snoopy is the [[DoctorWho Fourteenth Doctor]]!

Schulz never showed her because he wanted the readers to imagine their ideal girl as the little red-haired girl.

* except Charlie Brown is a lovable loser. Eddy is a {{jerkass}}.

[[http://cheezburger.com/faerdin/lolz/View/2802836992 Here's the proof.]] Exactly why Charlie Brown would dress up Rorschach has yet to be explained, however. [[spoiler: This troper has not actually read ''Watchmen'', so this WMG could be interpreted as ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontWatch.]]

The Great Pumpkin is [[JerkassGods Crom]], who will not be moved by your offer of worship or pleas for reward; in fact, he relishes in your suffering. Which is why Linus shivers in the pumpkin patch; Peppermint Patty must always fail in school; Charlie must forever miss the football, lose his baseball games, and never ''ever'' get the Joe Shlabotnik trading card; Lucy and Schroeder will never get together; and Snoopy will always be shot down by the Red Baron.

Linus freaks out because he said "if" instead of "when he comes", then continues to worry that the Great Pumpkin will skip over him even after he loudly corrects himself. And this is during being so devoted that he sits in a pumpkin patch all night and misses trick or treating. Judging by this, the Great Pumpkin has ridiculously tight criteria about who he delivers to, and kids very rarely live up to it. Linus was one of the few kids that managed to fit the criteria one year, which is why he believes in him.

That's why he looks almost bald.

When Linus was a baby he had an encounter with Slender man in a pumpkin patch and was fascinated by him. And now he waits out in the Pumpkin patch ever since waiting for him

Mostly for RuleOfDrama. Poor Snoopy never knew that his best friend was also the Flying Ace's ArchEnemy.

Probably ChildNeglect. He says he has no name, says people call him bad things, and is notoriously dirty

*** The system isn't ''quite'' perfect, mind, because Rerun remains notably younger than Linus and Lucy and is the only kid who never actually starts school, even after existing as a character for years. His aging seems to have stopped earlier than the other kids; maybe because he's the only kid who has ''two'' older siblings?

* His shirt ''does'' bear a striking resemblance to the uniform of Ginga Yellow from SeijuuSentaiGingaman.

[[The strip takes place in an alternate dimension where your aging slows down the older you get.]]

** Charlie Brown is the one character we can state a specific age for at different points in the strip's history. [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1950/11/03 In one of the earliest strips from 1950]] he's four years old. [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1957/11/17 Seven years later, in 1957]], he's aged to six. [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1979/07/11 Twenty-two years after that, in 1979]] he's eight-and-a-half, which seems to be his approximate age for the rest of the comic's run.

* There's also the cases of Lucy and Shcroeder. When they're introduced, both of them are toddlers whom the older Charlie Brown tries to take care of sometimes. They age rapidly until they are about Charlie Brown's age, and once again are in his grade at school.

* When we bring Linus in on the comparison, it gets even clearer. Linus is introduced in 1952 as a baby, but like Sally after him, he ages faster than the older kids like Charlie Brown. In 1959 he's about five -- which we know because [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1959/06/10 this strip from shortly after Sally's birth]]. Since Charlie Brown is about four when Linus is born and about six when Sally is born, the only way Linus can be five years older than Sally is if he's been aging faster than Charlie Brown.
* In conclusion: In the Peanuts universe, aging slows down the older you get, and as a result ages soon become meaningless. The only way in which age matters after a certain point is in the case of family members and especially siblings -- hence Linus is always Lucy's younger brother, and Sally is always Charlie Brown's little sister.

* Hmm. And when his powers begin to manifest themselves, [[Main/PubertySuperpower right around puberty or just after]], he will learn to speak, read, and write fluent idiomatic Japanese and assume the code name of [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari.]] When he is summoned to Japan by his mysterious estranged father to do battle against [[{{Main.MonsterOfTheWeek}} cosmic evil]], he will meet a certain little red-haired girl named Asuka. He will not wear a [[spoiler:yellow plugsuit with a black zigzag around the middle]] because that would be too obvious.

[[WMG: Charlie Brown is an alternate version of [[NeonGenesisEvangelion Shinji Ikari]].]]
