Peanuts by Charles Schulz for September 03, 1991
Transcript:
Linus, Violet, Charlie Brown, Patty and Sally wait at the bus stop. Linus says, "She has pancakes in her lunch box?" Violet says, "Weird." Patty comments, "Pancakes are no good without syrup . ." Sally says, "No problem." Sally holds a syrup dispenser in her hands.<BR><BR>
Patty and Violet never truly disappeared. They just became less prominent because of their lack of discerning characteristics and personality (their only real trait was antagonizing Charlie Brown, although back in the early 50’s, Violet made mud pies). You don’t see Shermy appearing in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, do you?
