thanks!
linus nudged him out of the top 3 due to 1: linus has a far more
"reaching" philosophy, and often has to be the voice of perspective for
ol' CB (such as when he cajoles him into facing the world again after
blowing the spelling bee in "a boy named charlie brown"; numerous strip
examples) and 2. my feeling that in "a charlie brown christmas" and "it's
the great pumpkin", he just stole chuck's shine.
also, that great "maybe you have pantophobia?" exchange in the
christmas special between charlie brown and lucy came from a strip that
actually featured lucy and linus.
3. the fact that linus believed in a fucking pumpkin that delivered presents.
ultimately, better than charlie brown believing he could get that red-haired
girl.
