Rerun Van Pelt

Rerun Van Pelt is the youngest sibling of Lucy and Linus in Charles Schulz's Peanuts, a cheerful, curious little boy who often rides on the back of his mother's bicycle and navigates life from a small child's perspective among the familiar Peanuts gang.

Rerun Van Pelt made his comics debut in the Bronze Age, arriving in 1974 as one of the youngest members of Charles Schulz's beloved Peanuts universe. Sharing the page with icons like Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy Van Pelt, and big brother Linus, Rerun found his place in a world already rich with personality and heart. Across nearly five decades — from that 1974 debut through 2020 — he turns up in landmark collections like The Complete Peanuts and It's a Big World, Charlie Brown, a testament to the enduring warmth of the world he inhabits. For fans and collectors who want the full Peanuts picture, Rerun is a quietly essential piece of the puzzle.
