Roy (Peanuts)
Encyclopedia : R : RO : ROY : Roy (Peanuts)
Roy was a minor character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. Roy rarely appeared in the strip, being most prominently featured in a mid-1960s storyline in which he met Charlie Brown at summer camp, their mutual loneliness bringing them together. Ironically, it was Roy who comforted Linus van Pelt the following year when Linus was disillusioned in going to camp.
It was through Roy that Charlie Brown met Peppermint Patty. After this event, a running gag started that Roy had entirely forgotten Charlie Brown's name, mentioning him to Patty or Linus as "that round-headed kid." During his own period at summer camp, Linus also forgets Charlie Brown's name because of the lack of its mention in his presence (yet somehow remembers everyone else's).
