Is it just me or do most people tend to forget the fact and i quote that Charles Shultz often had said throughout his life that the characters are different aspects of his personalities .It’s also said by Sparky that “The only person you truly know is yourself “ .I find that certain character traits in the characters have been sanded down by Apple and the Shultz family to market the IP more towards kids .If you’ve read the early strips you know Snoopy could be a complete douchebag when he wants to be .He was never just the safe marketable just cause he’s relatable on a day to day basis . When Shultz main goal as a news paper cartoonist was to appeal to everyone .I find that characters like Lucy have been violently stripped down of edge and meanness has been swapped out for a more palatable Disney esque ending .If where going to show these characters why not show them at there best where they got popular aka the 60s version of the strip that launched the popularity of the characters and spread that to future generations .
