Line 87:
* ''Nancy'' was originally a strip called ''Fritzie Ritz'' until Fritzie's niece Nancy became more popular than the title character (a typical 1920s-30s-era flapper).
** And given the popularity of [[Ms. Fanservice|"Aunt Fritzi"]] on [[The Comics Curmudgeon]], it looks like we're coming full circle.
* ''[[Blondie (comic strip)|Blondie]]'' was originally about the adventures of single flapper Blondie Boopadoop, but eventually her suitor Dagwood Bumstead won her hand and became the central character.
* Snoopy of ''[[Peanuts]]'' started out as a minor character and a more ordinary dog.
** [[The Pig Pen|Pig-Pen]] was a massively popular character in the strip despite being hated as a one-off joke by Schulz. Schulz was eventually forced to include him occasionally throughout the 60's and 70's.
