Things like this really make the characters’ ages confusing. This implies that Schroeder and Lucy are in the 2nd grade, so, since Linus is younger, he must be in the 1st grade, with Charlie Brown, who, when Lucy was introduced, was older than she was and older than Schroeder. Also, does this mean Sally’s still in Kindergarten and having to write essays? No wonder her essays end up so confused.

Linus and Sally are in the same grade. Also Lucy, Schroeder and Charlie Brown are in the same grade. Both Lucy and Schroeder started out younger than Charlie Brown, but became the same age as he was. In the beginning of the strip Patty, Violet and Shermy were older than Charlie Brown, but Charlie Brown grew up to be their age.

I think comic strips exist on a different part of the space-time continuum.
