It’s interesting to see how much Schulz has developed as a cartoonist. Lucy and Schroeder’s relationship is as one-dimensional as ever (how could it be anything but?). However, the much more recent pairing of P.Patty and Chuck is a lot more nuanced and interesting, even though it’s essentially the same idea of the girl showing unrequited love for the guy.
