Rerun's best moments from the Peanuts.
Born in 1972, Rerun Van Pelt was the newest character to join the Peanuts fold as Lucy and Linus' baby brother. While his appearances were limited in the earlier periods of his creation, he would go on to become one of the most frequently used characters in the Peanuts strip, rivaling even the main star of the comic, Charlie Brown, for a time.
9 "Mom Is Stressed" One of Rerun's trademark characteristics in the strips is his mom carrying him on the back of her bike. Based on this strip, the audience can guess that the stress of having three small children is getting to mom. When those kids are the prone-to-fantasy Linus and the bossy, mischievous Lucy, plus another little one added to the brood, it is only natural that this busy mom has her mind all over the place.
In this slapstick strip, Lucy is trying to teach her brother how to play Jacks but Rerun being Rerun messes it up. Rather than bounce the ball gently to get the jacks, Rerun throws it up in the air and the ball lands on Lucy's head. This strip is just one of many moments where Lucy tries to be a good sibling only to get mud on her face, much to Rerun's delight.
Based off Rerun's reactions to Lucy's declaration that it's "Back of the Bike Day," the reader can attest that it isn't a particularly relaxing bike ride for Rerun and more like a white-knuckle run. Thankfully for Rerun, he eventually aged out of the back seat of the bike. Before that, though, it made for some funny comics.
4 "Chase The Stick" Rerun desperately wants a dog. It’s too bad that his mother refuses to get a pup, much to his disappointment. However, Rerun is one to roll with the punches and comes up with a solution. Well, kind of. He often asks Charlie Brown if he can borrow everyone's favorite beagle, Snoopy.
Similarly, she uses Rerun as her pseudo therapist, talking about whatever is bothering her to her all-ears little brother. Evidently in this strip, Rerun is a supportive shoulder to lean on, rasing his bottle to Lucy's declaration that everything is not her fault. Everyone could use a supportive bother like Rerun, even a tough cookie like Lucy.
