Lucy van Pelt!
Created by Charles M. Schulz and introduced on March 3, 1952 for the Peanuts comic strip, Lucille "Lucy" van Pelt has appeared in numerous films and television specials, most notably A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), It's Christmastime Again, Charlie Brown (1992), Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales (2002), and most recently, I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown (2003), all of which are her gateway into the Holiday Monster of the Week.There are plenty of bad kids to be had and while the threat of a cartoon would not seem to be much of one per say, with a child as mean-spirited, cynical, and downright terrible as Lucy van Pelt, she is truly deserving of Monster status. Snarky, condescending, and the way she takes advantage of decent guys like that poor Charlie Brown with her football follies, she really is a despicable character.
She's got a bad attitude, a bad temper, and a bad hairdo...Charlie Brown might be a good man, but you, Lucy van Pelt, are not.
So true. Let's eat her.
ReplyDeleteAlready got the coals heating up on the grill! Got any of those wavy chips?
ReplyDeleteInspired choice, and part of why one should never put blind trust in any person--particularly female--that happens to be the oldest child.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Wavy lays are perfect for onion dip AND roasted Lucy pate.
ReplyDeleteEmily: True dat, the older siblings are always the most vindictive and mean! And the way she throws herself at Schroeder, very improper little lady!
ReplyDeleteAndre: Mmmm....I love onion dip. Imagine how good Peanut flavored pate would taste though!
y'know you're right. she is a bit of a C yoU Next Tuesday. i watched the Thankgiving Charlie Brown special a couple of weeks ago (after not seeing it in ages) and as sweet and nice the story is she's just such a jerk. Charlie Brown is such a browbeaten little guy she should just lay off him already.
ReplyDeleteway to kick them when they're down Lucy.
Wiec?: It's hard not to side with Charlie Brown, he's bald at the age of 12, he was in Kill Bill, and he's just an overall decent kid. Lucy is so uncomfortable with herself that she feels the need to get down on him to make herself feel better! What an asshole!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Ashlee: Thanks! I actually remember that too! Snoopy is a bit of a thug, but he moved from the tough streets of Cabrini Green to live a Zen like existence in suburbia. You can take the dog out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the dog, thus the reason why Lucy got her ass deservingly kicked!
STFU!
ReplyDeleteI love Lucy. For serious.
Christine: If you were on the target of her domestic abuse, I think you would love her no more! She is like one of those girls from that Jersey Shore TV show!
ReplyDeleteAiden: It is people like Lucy that inspire school shootings.
Uh oh! You're not Lucy Van Pelt, are you?! If so, then I take it all back!
