5, 3 & 4. A brother and his twin sisters, they were around for a few years in the 60s, and pretty much disappeared once Peppermin Patty and Woodstock joined the strip.

WHERE'S THE JOKE, SCHULTZ

>>150175001
The joke is that naming your children numbers is silly.
It also preys on the fear the boomer has about the future with all these new machines so it elicits laughter as a response when you encounter something you dont expect or you fear so you try to lower the tension with laughter

>>150175073
>the fear the boomer has about the future
Anon these strips were written at a time boomers were literally still being born.

>>150175121
boomer just means old person in 4chan lingo

>>150175001
Better joke teller than Watterson

It was also something about zip codes which were just being introduced. 5's full name was 555 95472.
He also later named a short used character, Tapioca Pudding .

Funnily enough, the twins 3 and 4 only made a handful of appearances that ended right around the time the special probably entered production. 5 though stuck around for decades in the comics as a background/minor character and wound up lasting in the strip longer than Shermy who was originally a primary cast member.

Not sure why Patty isn't in this group since she was in that special and she's pretty much the only other recurring character in the strip at the time that wasn't; Charlie Brown and Lucy were just off-stage and Charlotte Braun had already been murdered a decade earlier.

>>150177909
You figured it out all by yourself

>>150178209
>and Charlotte Braun had already been murdered a decade earlier
Anon, you can't just say that without telling the story, and I wouldn't dream of stealing that honor from you

>>150174148 (OP)
For everyone who's been calling 5 "Shermie," the actual Shermie is the boy in the green shirt

Charlotte Braun was a character introduced fairly early in the strip's run that was generally disliked by the readers because of her attitude and personality. Basically take Peppermint Patty's obnoxious behavior from the Thanksgiving episode, dial it up a notch, and imply that she's yelling all of her lines at the top of her lungs.

So a little girl wrote to ask Schulz to drop her and got this response:

>Dear Miss Swaim, I am taking your suggestion regarding Charlotte Braun and will eventually discard her. If she appears anymore it will be in strips that were already completed before I got your letter or because someone writes in saying that they like her. Remember, however, that you and your friends will have the death of an innocent child on your conscience. Are you prepared to accept such responsibility? Thanks for writing, and I hope that future releases will please you. Sincerely, Charles M. Schulz.

Schulz never used her again, not even as a filler character in specials or backgrounds.

>>150178317
See, isn't that great

>>150178317
So Miss Swaim learned to live with the blood of an innocent child in her hands?

>>150178465

Elizabeth donated the letter to the Library of Congress shortly after Schulz died so her legacy of murder will live on.

>>150178535
Literally Dexter Morgan

>>150178535
Even if Schulz was probably planning on dropping the character anyway, it's a pretty great claim to fame.

>>150178317
That was like his first misfire character. He was introducing characters that weren't originally there, but got big and eventually over took Shermey, Patty and Violet (who was the first new one) but here's his first misfire. He waited about 4 years to introduce a new one, Sally.

Sebastopol, California. Where Schulz was living at the time.

Also, Jesus. What a rough year.
>Schulz's father died while visiting him in 1966, the same year Schulz's Sebastopol studio burned down.

>>150174148 (OP)
The dog's name is Snoopy

>penuts

That time Schultz made a live action movie with his self insert as spike the dog and his daughter, in order to try and help launch her acting career.

>>150178102
Do the newer specials still use '50s-style schooldesks?

>>150182215
School desks still look like that in most of the country

>>150182876
bullshit

>>150182876
How could you possibly know? Have you been to all 50 states and done random inspections of a few schools in each?

Mindy and Mandy.

>>150181266
And then her acting was so bad that she was never in another movie ever again
