Piggybacking on Shane's Peanut's post I think we can all see ourselves in one of the Peanuts characters. →[More:]Which one are you and (if you feel like it) why you feel like you identify with that character.

Here I am, I am Lucy Van Pelt (youtube).

Pigpen, I guess since I'm something of a slob, yet paradoxically, I'm also vain, so sometimes I'm Frida.

before your time, getoffmylawn. . .it'd be neat to see if anyone has changed. . .like a Peanut's reassignment surgery.

I totally forget what I said, if I said anything.

Sally. I'm likely to wait in a pumpkin patch all night.

If we're replying with youtube links, Antonio Montana.

Charlie Brown, through and through. For all the obvious reasons, plus everyone in my family swore our voices were identical when I was a yung'un.

I don't want be introduced to your little friend.

Did your parents talk in womp-womp-womp? That musta been rough.

I'm Peppermint Patty.

Why? Uh...I don't know. I have red hair?

I always had the biggest crush on Linus, so I guess that makes me Sally.

Well... Nope. I just went through the list of characters, and I don't identify with any of them.

I'm trying to think of the cartoon character I most identify with, and I think it's Philip J. Fry.

Oh if we could pick any, I would be a combination of Cathy (the insecurities) and old school Bazooka Joe (not revealing myself). And maybe a little bit of Buttercup from the Powerpuff Girls.

My inner child is Lisa Simpson in a very strong way.

I'm definitely not a Peanuts character, unless Snoopy counts, then I may be like Snoopy. I invite your discussion.

I'd much rather be someone from Little Nemo from Slumberland, p'raps Nemo himself. He's my next tattoo anyway.

I'd like actually to be captured by Mrs. Pants as a cartoon at some point.

I guess I'm the only person who will admit to being Lucy :)

I can't see myself as a Peanuts character. But I'm just like Dopey of the Seven Dwarves.

Shermy.

(If you don't look at the first thread, it's funny/obscure all over again!)

Lisa Simpson crossed with Blossom Utonium.

I'm definitely Charlie Brown and always have been, although I like to think I'm also a little Calvin (and even more Hobbes.)

We should aspire to be Calvin, Hobbes, and Tigger, I think.

I'm totally Woodstock.

Oh yeah, from here on out, your posts should look something like this:

I'm definitely a Lucy. YOU BLOCKHEADS.

Says the man who's fond of exposing himself on flickr as much as they'll let him.

posted by Eideteker 18 July | 14:34

Well, my friend isn't so little.

Oh!

*drops mic*

I'm a Peppermint Patty/Marcy hybrid. Surprise to no one, I'm sure.

You call yourself "Sir" and have a secret lesbian relationship with yourself?

posted by matildaben 18 July | 16:56

I'm JJ from Doonesbury. People have been telling me this for years, and it's too late to switch now.

posted by mygothlaundry 18 July | 17:25

I've felt like Charlie Brown for most of my life, but I adore Snoopy. I share his imagination. Call me Snoopy Brown, I guess.
