This strip introduces a female counterpart to Charlie Brown named Charlotte Braun. The character was best known for her booming voice. (Lucy would later gain this trait.) Charlotte rarely appeared in the strip. I believe she completely dissolved from the cast after a storyline a few months later.
Schulz wrote a response to a letter written by a fan regarding Charlotte Braun. In his response, Schulz confirmed that Charlotte was literally killed off; she was given “the ax”.
