Like this one thing Schulz himself even admitted once, that the Peanuts strip is so full of unrequited love, and as he said,“I seem to be fascinated by unrequited love, if not obsessed with it, as there are several cases of it, in Peanuts: while Lucy loves Schroeder, he wants nothing to do with her, by the same token, while Sally loves Linus, same business-he wants nothing to do with her, Charlie Brown loves the little red-haired girl, but in his case, he can’t even bring himself to go near her.”(and of course, even there, the way the little red-haired girl acts like he doesn’t exist, even denies him, in fact, at times—denies that she knows him, or knows who he is.)
