Within the first few times of a character being introduced, their personality was established and understood. Throughout the fifty years of the comic strip, Schulz used random situations and turned them into ongoing gags. He explained that Peanuts included “twelve devices” which were crucial to its success. The devices were: “1. The kite-eating tree; 2. Schroeder’s music; 3. Linus’s security blanket; 4. Lucy’s psychiatry booth; 5. Snoopy’s doghouse; 6. Snoopy himself; 7. The Red Baron; 8. Woodstock; 9.
