Odd how Schroeder (and later Lucy) gets introduced as a baby yet later he’s the same age as Charlie Brown.

If Schroeder is a child, than Charlie Brown must be a… Never mind.Anyway, this is the first appearance of Schroeder. He was originally used for baby gags. He later evolved into a piano-playing prodigy. Yes, he did start playing a toy piano when he was still a baby. Somehow, he later became Charlie Brown’s age. It was not uncommon for “Peanuts” characters to rapidly age so they could fit in with the rest of the cast.

If Schroeder is a baby in here and CB is 4 then how does he end up being the same age as him in the future? Does everyone have different aging paces? If so that would explain a lot even though it doesnt make much sense
