Great !
Changing subject completely. The first ever "Peanuts" cartoon in 1950 featured 3 characters. Name them.

Presumably 'Charlie Brown' has to have been one of them?

Lucy and Snoopy

Correct
Not those two. Snoopy appeared in the 4th cartoon, Lucy not until the next year.
Clue : the other characters were obscure, in that they fairly soon more or less disappeared from the strip.
PS probably won't be back to check answers until tomorrow

I think you've got this mixed up with Paddington Bear ?!
Another clue : one male and one female character

I assume they were guessing Charlie's parents.
I'm afraid I can't offer a useful guess: I'm only passingly familiar with the strip, and could only hope to name any longer-lasting characters.

I can't think of any more clues, so I guess it's tell to let you know that my friend Mr W Pedia has the answer ...

Grandparents?

I see the estemed Mr W Pedia lists them as Shermy and Patty. The original strip's humour is definitely of another age, as it bypasses me completely. The later cartoons seemed more accesible to me.

That was a brilliant answer - but not what I'm looking for.
