Roy (Peanuts)
|
|
Roy is a minor character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles Schulz. Roy rarely appeared, but was important briefly in the 1960s when he met Charlie Brown at summer camp, their mutual loneliness bringing them together. Ironically, it was Roy who comforted Linus van Pelt the next year when Linus was disillusioned in going to summer camp.
It was through Roy that Charlie Brown met Peppermint Patty. After this event, a running gag started that Roy had entirely forgotten Charlie Brown's name, mentioning him to Linus as "that round-headed kid." During his period at summer camp, Linus forgets Charlie Brown's name due to the lack of it's mention in his presence (yet somehow remembers everyone else's).
