Peanuts/YMMV: Difference between revisions

** A 1961 strip has Sally expressing her ''disappointment'' that she can't go to school with the other kids.

** [http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1998/03/20 This 1998 strip] all but predicts Tiger Woods' sex scandal 11 years later, [[Don't Explain the Joke|as long as you take into account]] [[Lampshaded Double Entendre|the different meanings of "ho/hoe"]].

* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: When the strip first came out, people naturally assumed that Charlie Brown's name was "Peanuts". This frustrated Charles Schulz, who had predicted that this would happen.

* [[Iconic Character Forgotten Title]]: Many people thought the comic strip was called "Charlie Brown" or "Snoopy". Sunday comics added subtitles such as "Featuring Snoopy" or "Featuring Good Ol' Charlie Brown".

* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Some people actually thought that Peppermint Patty was not a [[Tomboy]], but a ''real'' boy. It doesn't help that in some of the animated adaptations, she is ''voiced'' by a boy, and that in the 80s and 90s, it became a little more acceptable for young males to have longer hair than it would be in the 50s-70s. (Where it was ''older'' men who had longer hair primarily!)

** Plus, she's drawn with ''shorts'' - Schulz would often draw the other girls with ''skirts''.

** In one of the last daily strips, Sally is writing a letter to [[Harry Potter]]. Not as obvious as the previous trope, but this was written around the time the books were becoming popular.

* [[What an Idiot!]]: An entire arc was dedicated to Peppermint Patty attending a "cheap private school" Snoopy recommended and not realizing it was an obedience school until after she graduated and the principal told her when she showed him her diploma as proof that she doesn't need to go back to school.
