* Tricia: Peppermint Patty
* Van's Sister: Lucy
-----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]
* [[Adults Are Useless]]: Lampshaded, specifically the traditional muffled-trumpet ''Peanuts'' voices.
* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Just about every single cliché from various earlier "[[Darker and Edgier]]" pariodies of the comic show up here in some form, from Snoopy getting rabies to Peppermint Patty and Marcie having a huge lesbian subtext going on, and everyone is generally foul-mouthed, drug-abusing and sex-obsessed -- butobsessed—but despite all this, the comic's ideals and themes are upheld and honored (if stretched a little), and {{spoiler|the final scene, with the letter from C.S. (aka Charles Schultz) is full of heartfelt words of encouragement to C. B., telling him that he ''is'' a good man when all is said and done... and, depending on your interpetation, that his friend, dog and bird are happy in the afterlife.}}
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Alternative Character Backstory]]: {{spoiler|Matt}} gets one ''hell'' of a [[Freudian Excuse]], making him seem very much [[The Woobie]]- at least in terms of his comic counterpart.
* [[Berserk Button]]: NEVER call Matt 'Pigpen' {{spoiler|Beethoven makes this mistake at the end of the play, and his life.}}
Line 25:
* [[Comedic Sociopathy]]: Van's Sister is in an insane asylum {{spoiler|for setting the little red-haired girl's hair on fire}}.
* [[Coming Out Story]]: {{spoiler|For Beethoven and C.B.}}
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: C.B.'s sister. Three words: "Cocooning into Playtypus."
** Van also fits the mold pretty well.
* [[Crapsack World]]
