LUCY LUCY

She’s here, she’s here!

¿Now, we have 7 characters!

Also, the semicircles next to the eyes all of the members of the family Van Pelt have do not yet exist.

Wow…. look at her eyes!Did she see a ghost or something?LOL

New character alert!

The Legendary Lucy has arrived.

THE CRABBY GIRL!

Look at her eyes~!

This is the world’s introduction to Lucy van Pelt. In her early appearance, she has large, round eyes that most of the other “Peanuts” characters did not have. I have noticed that in her early years, Lucy and Charlie Brown were attached as playmates.

Please to meet you Lucy!

She wasn’t too bright at first.

the legendary crab with hair

Googly eyes!

In the last panel, Lucy looks stoned.

Lucy Van Pelt herself!

First appearance of Lucille “Lucy” Van Pelt.

Or pay her a nickel and tell the doctor why your scared.
