Peanuts gay
The Problematic Legacy of Mr. Peanut, Gay Capitalist
Update: He is now dead.
Born with a monocle and uppermost hat, Mr. Peanut was a capitalist before he knew he was male lover. Introduced in 1916 as a mascot for snack brand Planters, Mr. Peanut has lived for a century as a slave-trading peanut aristocrat, selling his fellow legumes to a gruesome death by mastication.
Seriously. Vintage Planters advertisements exhibit a grinning Mr. Peanut surrounded by children, laughing as he eats ordinary peanuts from a bag. The monocled monster is a nut-swallowing cannibal.
For decades, Mr. Peanut continued to crush the backs (and shells) of prole peanuts. He even straddled a pair of them — the shell-shaped NUTmobile — as early as 1935, flaunting his force over the peanut masses in the midst of the Depression.
During World War II, he made a fortune as the meet of one of the leading mass-market salted nut brands, when he appeared on war brochures and promoted savings stamps. Ravenous for public adoration, he dazzled visitors at the 1964 and 1965 Novel York World’s Fair. Of course, the accolades were already rolling in. Mr. Peanut received the first of his many signature Times Square billboards in 1932. H

But we must remember that these are just drawings and not real life therefore
it is close to unfeasible to know what is really behind the chacater.

'Peanuts': How Peppermint Patty was 'groundbreaking' for female athletes, a 'comfort' for LGBTQ folks
There's never been a character quite like Peppermint Patty.
When the fiercely outspoken and athletic young young woman was introduced in Charles M. Schulz's "Peanuts" comics in August 1966, she was an anomaly: She came from a single-parent residence, was bad at academy, good at sports and didn't wear dresses. The origins of Peppermint Patty – and the rest of the Peanuts gang – are explored in a new Apple TV+ documentary, "Who Are You, Charlie Brown?" (now streaming).
"If you think about how female cartoon characters were portrayed on the comics page when Peppermint Patty came on the scene, they were usually the foils for their husbands, like 'Blondie' or 'Beetle Bailey,' " says cartoonist Paige Braddock, who serves as leader creative officer at Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates. "So along comes this juvenile female character who's benign of a tomboy and charting her own track. That was very groundbreaking and opened the door for other (comics) creators to do more singular female characters."

Not a lot of gay content.
1. Only two significant queer friendships (Charlie Brown-Linus and Peppermint Patty-Marcie), and neither show the intensity, physicality, or exclusivity that might push them from friendship to romance. (Christopher Shea provided the unique voice for Linus.)
Marcie calling Peppermint Patty "Sir" does not signify lesbian self. Lesbians do not call each other "Sir."
Plus, every character, almost without exception, is involved in an unrequited heterosexual romance: Lucy is in love with Schroeder, Sally with Linus, Peppermint Patty and Marcie both with Charlie Brown, Charlie Brown with the Little Red-Haired Teen. Linus and Snoopy never zero in on one devotion, but they each get many girlfriends.
In one 1985 continuity, Charlie Brown merely has to say "Eleanor" for Linus to collapse, and "Fifi" for Snoopy t
