When you think about Charles Shultz's "Peanuts" franchise, one aspect that hasn't been covered is the lives of the parents of Charlie Brown and his friends. Now of course Charles Schulz liked to keep the focus on the kids and Snoopy in his comic strips and cartoon specials (with the exception of a few specials), but of course, that doesn't mean that fans can't have speculations and discussions about the adults in the lives of the Peanuts gang, and of course fanfiction opens many doors. So I thought that maybe I could ask everypony here what characterizations of the parents of the Peanuts would be like. Such as:
What would their careers be? It's documented that Charlie Brown's dad is a barber, but what about his mom as well as the other parents.
What are their hobbies, interests, their personalities?
What's their relationship with their kids? Like how do Linus and Lucy's mom and dad feel about some of their kids' antics, like the blanket and the pulling the football away.
What kind of parenting do they give them?
Have the traits of the kids been inherited from their parents? Like could Charlie Brown's bad luck have stemmed from his mother or father being the same way when they were his age?
What sort of active role could they have played in the lives of their kids during certain specials?
What's their relationship with Snoopy as well as their opinions of his antics? Do they find him amusing or a constant headache?
One possible reason to discuss this to establish a voice of reason, morality, and authority in the Peanuts universe. I have read some Peanuts fanfics in which the parents do make appearances and have lines in the fics. But so far I have yet to see any straight up profiling the lives of the parents of the Peanuts. What are your ideas on the profiles of the mothers and fathers of Charlie Brown and the other Peanuts?
