A Surprising Character Spoke the First Line of Dialogue in Peanuts' Debut Strip

It's not who you think.

The very first line of dialogue uttered in Peanuts' debut strip was said by one character most fans likely didn't expect. Peanuts is a franchise that has endured the test of time since it first premiered in 1950. For years, timeless characters such as Charlie Brown, Linus, Lucy, Snoopy and Woodstock entertained readers of all ages with their delightful adventures. However, when it comes to the comic's very first strip, none of these iconic characters said a word.

However, he never says a thing throughout the strip's four panels. Instead, Shermy speaks the franchise's first lines as he tells Patty that "Good Ol' Charlie Brown" is walking by. When he walks out of sight, Shermy is quick to change tone as he tells her, "How I hate him.

Peanuts' Very First Line Sets Up Charlie Brown's Character What's amazing about this startling truth about Peanuts' origin is that despite Charlie Brown not getting the first line in the comic's history, it still establishes who he would become years down the road. Charlie Brown is known for being a character who has friends but is constantly worried by what they think of him.

Shermy will always have a place in Peanuts history despite being removed from the comics altogether after a certain point. Not only did he serve as a straight man to the antics of Charlie Brown and the gang, but he served as the first character to speak in the series' 50 year run. His first line of dialogue kicked off Peanuts' iconic run and set up one of the medium's most famous characters who will continue to be relevant as time goes by.
