Catching Up

My apologies for suddenly being largely offline this past weekend. I'll try to be doing to some catch-up here shortly. To start, here's the Peanuts strip running today...

Does it strike anyone else as odd that Sally Brown calls her brother by his full name? Did Sparky find he had written himself into an awkward situation when he realized that EVERYBODY called Charlie Brown "Charlie Brown"? To my recollection, the TV specials all had Sally's dialogue so she always called him "Big Brother" likely to avoid this exact situation. Is that why Charles Schulz would introduce Peppermint Patty and Marcie as calling him "Chuck" and "Charles" respectively? Just to make a change from sometimes awkward situations like the above?
