mathmarm Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The character, not the comic Peanuts. What age are the Peanuts kids in your mind? If you don't know, please don't google it. I'm curious what age you perceive the characters to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeacademy Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I was thinking 8 or 9. The younger ones I know in the earlier comics were not in school and then they were old enough to go so older group 8 or 9 then toward the end 11 or so. The younger ones 4 or 5 then ending at 7 or 8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bettyandbob Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Charlie, Lucy & Linus are around 8. I think Charlie is 10. I thought Linus was a younger sibling of Lucy. I don't think he's in the same grade with Lucy and Charlie. I think Linus is 7 (maybe younger) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivey Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I’ve always assumed that Charlie and Lucy were around 8, while Linus was about 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klmama Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 At what point in the series? In the early ones I think of Charlie Brown and Lucy as 5 or 6, with Sally and Linus being 3 or 4. Later ones, Charlie Brown and Lucy around 8-9, Sally and Linus around 5-6. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 In the very early ones (that yes, I remember) they were all preschool age but then later they were older from the content of what they studied in school, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I always assumed late elementary or early middle school since they walked to school alone and Charlie Brown's crush on the little red-headed girl, so I guess about 11-12. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umsami Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I thought Charlie Brown was about 9-10. His little sister Sally, maybe 4-5? Although I can't remember if she goes to school or not...so maybe 5-6? Lucy is either the same age as Charlie Brown or maybe a year older? Linus is younger, too....maybe 3-4 with his blankie? OK, off to Google. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeschoolingHearts&Minds Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 8 or 9 would be my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithManor Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I always figured 11-13 because so much of the behavior seemed rather middle schoolish...especially the crush on the little red haired girl, the sports, Lucy's crush on Schroeder, trick or treating without adults, directing the school play, etc. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 I would say 7-8. Sally is maybe 5-6? Linus is 5-6. Lucy and Shroeder are on the older side. Maybe 9. Peppermint Patty is older than Charlie, so maybe she's 9 and he's 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink and Green Mom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 10 would be my guess.

LucyStoner Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 He's 8 but he's a wise and yet still naive 8. Lucy is the same age and Linus and Sally are a little younger. He wasn't always the same age in the strips. He started at 4 and aged to 8. In the specials they do seem a little older. Sorry, huge Peanuts nerd family here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I talk to the trees Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Sally, his younger sister is in school, but can't write (at least that's the impression I get from the Christmas special.) So he has to be older than 6, assuming Sally is in first grade. I'm guessing that there are about 2-3 years between them, so 8-9? And I just put way too much thought into that, didn't I?

scoutingmom Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 The later ones, 8-10, with Linus about a year younger, and Sally a couple of years younger than Linus.... Kindergarten in some, Grade 1ish . Earlier ones Lucy was in Kindergarten. And I read the strip where Sally was born! She did seem to age faster than the others. I walked to school at age 6 in grade 1, as did my friends. That was normal when I was a kid. It was also normal in my neighbourhood to play outside until the street lights came on, or until called in summer.
