Adults in Peanut They are mysterious, almost never seen or heard, often with their existence implied but never completely obvious or front and center. However, every rule has exceptions, the case being the select few Peanut comic trips that included adults. It might just be the hand of an adult or the full-scale appearance of a main character's parents, but adults have made appearances in Peanutalthough they vary in the type of appearance they present.
Although many characters have come and gone Peanut In the 1950s, comics were publishing new comics, adults were few and far between. Consequently, the adult-starring comic was a momentous occasion that fans of the series couldn't miss.

"We arrived too late"
December 19, 1999
Snoopy and Woodstock take a walk through the snowy landscape dressed in American Revolution-era costumes as they watch the ship depart, disappointed because they expected to get a ride on the boat with them.. The boat in question is the setting and imagery for the famous painting "Washington Crossing the Delaware." It's safe to say that Snoopy and Woodstock would be a little out of place in the iconic, historic scene. Despite this, the scene depicts George Washington, being one of the few times that Peanut showed an adult in the comic. This comic is not only shown as an adult, but also as an important figure in American history. Snoopy's imagination takes a historical turn, as he likes to do in this comic strip, by portraying him and Woodstock as individuals in the American Revolution.

"Scores!"
For a unique football joke comic, Lucy tries to get Charlie Brown to kick the football, letting Charlie Brown know that things will be very different this time. She's not lying because things are definitely different when Lucy gets web-shot by the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and pulls her away so Charlie Brown can finally successfully kick the football. A crossover between Spider-Man and Charlie Brown is unexpected to say the least, especially in the context of this comic book. It seems even Spider-Man was fed up with Lucy knocking the ball away from Charlie Brown. Because Spidey is always looking out for people, he takes on the big ones and, apparently, the little ones, as this strip illustrates when he helps Charlie Brown finally kick the football. Happy for Charlie Brown's success, the web-slinger celebrates alongside the round-headed boy.

November 8, 1964
Linus shares with Snoopy the story he wrote and illustrated for English class about a girl who has a bad headache and can't get any relief from the doctor, so the protagonist's brother adjusts her ears and she feels better. Snoopy reacts to the story by giving Linus his unique good luck handshakes, which doesn't do much to boost Linus' confidence in his story. An unorthodox comic book for Peanutby showing the story and drawing of Linus in the panels, the adult doctor character from Linus's story is shown to the reader. Although the adult is not a real adult, but just a character in Linus's fictional story, it is still a shortage Peanut see an adult character, whether real or not. While Linus might not feel great after Snoopy's lukewarm response, he should definitely get some points for creativity.

Linus' obsession with his blanket is a mystery to everyone around him, but Charlie Brown and Lucy certainly understand his attachment to the blanket after rumors of the flannel fabric's effects.

Charlie Brown is a friend who supports him in everything, even suggesting that Lucy enter the competition and then pay the entry fee. Lucy is incredibly nervous when it's her turn to go to the first tee, but Charlie Brown tries to comfort her by insisting that no one will be watching her. Little do they know that all eyes are on them because they are the only children in a sea full of adults.

"Happy Veterans Day, men!"
November 11, 1998
For a Veterans Day comic strip, two soldiers see Snoopy as part of the infantry and comment on how the rookies are getting smaller and smaller. Snoopy is seen greeting soldiers Willie and Joe as his heroes and wishes them a happy Veterans Day as Snoopy imagines himself in this scene from World War II. The style and look of this comic has a very interesting history. The name along with Schulz's in the upper right corner is Bill Maudlin, who was a well-known political/war cartoonist in the 1940s. Maudlin's work was a favorite with soldiers because Maudlin included the soldier's dissatisfaction and anxiety in his drawings excited. Schulz frequently referenced Maudlin or her work in the Veterans Day comic strips of Peanutwith this particular strip showing two adult characters, a rarity on the property, to mimic Maudlin's style for the holiday.

June 18, 1989
Apparently, Beagles also celebrate Father's Day, as this Peanut draw illustration. Preparing a card for his father for Father's Day, Snoopy tells Charlie Brown about how his father is in Florida and is retired, as well as explaining that there were eight beagles in the litter. Readers will see Snoopy's father receive his card, where he is thrilled that all 8 of his children signed his Father's Day card, the signatures being, of course, his paw prints. Many members of Snoopy's family have been shown in the comics, specifically Snoopy's brothers. However, Snoopy's parents haven't been shown as much, with this comic featuring a rare appearance from family patriarch Snoopy. Celebrating Father's Day, Peanut I couldn't have celebrated better than by showing Snoopy's dad.

With Snoopy as the World War I Flying Ace and Spike as part of the infantry, the brothers look like they're in one of Snoopy's famous Flying Ace costumes.

In the next panel, viewers only see Snoopy and Spike's mother. In the next strip, Snoopy reveals that his mother's visit caused Spike to recover completely, but it is shown as if it was all a story that Snoopy was typing. The question is: is Snoopy's story fictional or not?
