For me, my comic fandom--besides the Titans (and DC in general) & Archie's Sonic incarnation--has always been Shultz' Peanuts. That--and respect for "Sparky" and Bill--is why I posted a few movies starring the blockhead and his friends in the Voice of Snoopy thread.

Oh yes, I'm definitely a Peanuts fan. I used to carry a few "collections" around with me (now they stay on the shelf so I won't lose them), and my grandma even once commented on my obsession when I brought a book to Christmas Eve dinner XD My mom calls me Lucy :wink: They had a Saturday Morning cartoon too, right? The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show.

I collect X-Men, Generation X, Catwoman, Spider-Man, manga, and some Batman...
But Fox's X-Men cartoon is what I got up all the time for :smile:

Yep. Ironically, it aired on Disney first & then was butchered horribly under the banner of You're on Nickelodeon, Charlie Brown.
My mom calls me Lucy
Hmmm...You don't sound uber-crabby to me. Incidentally, outside of the title blockhead and his loveable dog, my favorite has always been Lucy's little brother--and Sally's "sweet baboo"--Linus.

Linus has always been my favorite :smile:. I think it was his fear of rock snakes and the time he forgot the eggshells over and over for school that really sold me on him :smile:. I also love Snoopy's brother Marbles, even if you hardly see him at all *lol* :3

^ I can be pretty darn grumpy/crabby, but I'm nowhere near as bad as she :wink: I just take it as a compliment because she's so awesome.

I thought Snoopy's brother was named Spike? *shrugs* Maybe Snoop has an extended family. Same for Woodstock, as there's been times where there's been more than one type of Woodstock-esque bird around.

What sold me on Linus was how he could switch from drastically upset (often, this occurs when his security blanket is not with him), to philosophical (see his stance on [what truly is the meaning of Christmas [and to be forewarned, it does have a religious connotation]), to giddy little kid (in regards to The Great Pumpkin), and to a tough guy (whenever one of his friends is in trouble, it is often Linus to the rescue).

He can also be downright calculating - like whenever Snoopy tries to steal his blanket :wink:
