This Peanuts character is my second favorite after Peppermint Patty. He is the younger brother of Lucy and Linus. Thanks to their parents’ sense of humor, they decided to name him Rerun after Lucy’s reaction to his arrival. She’s always wanted to be an only child and felt that having to go through another younger brother was like watching bad re-runs on TV. However, Lucy treats him noticeably nicer than she treats Linus.

Rerun’s main story lines revolve around him trying to stay alive while riding on the back of his mom’s bicycle. In the back seat, Rerun thinks about life, sings and occasionally performs soliloquies. Not bad for a one year old. In later strips and cartoons, he is depicted as a few years older. I believe that he was the only character that actually grew.
