Meet Sally
Sally Brown’s brother, Charlie Brown, was so pleased and proud when she was born that he passed out chocolate cigars. Since then he’s been trying to understand her. She always looks for the easy way out, particularly at school, where her view of life reflects much of the frustration and confusion kids experience. Her speech is riddled with malapropisms. Uninhibited, and precocious, she has a schoolgirl crush on Linus, her “Sweet Babboo.” She may never win Linus’ heart, but she has her big brother wrapped around her little finger. Sally, writing letters or doing homework, causes pain and joy to her fans in roughly equal proportions.
