Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Peanuts has a tried and true cast and has usually stayed pretty close to its core members throughout its history. However, there were still references to others in the comic strip's run, with famous people being name-dropped from time to time. While some who were referenced were famous for a certain period of time and then dissipated from the public eye, others have been household names for decades.
When Charlie Brown brings up Snoopy getting a rabies shot, the beagle disappears out of thin air, something a magician like Doug Henning was renowned for.

But, there were some comics that referencee specific issues, events, and people that were talking points at the time, a category Doug Henning fits into.
8 Billie Jean King Published in 1991 Before the tennis superstars of today like Venus and Serena Williams, and Naomi Osaka, there was the legendary Billie Jean King. A force in the tennis world, Billie Jean King put a spotlight on the women's sports movement and was an activist for fair compensation. On top of her advocacy, she was also consistently the champion of multiple Grand Slam titles, earning her the reputation as one of the best tennis players in the world.
6 Fred Astaire Published in 1969 Fred Astaire was a major star in Hollywood's Golden Era, with a reputation as a phenomenal dancer, a skill that he used to great effect in a number of musicals.

One of the best parts of the comic is that Sally was actually doing a good job on her report before she just had to bring the portrait she drew, effectively dampening her chances at getting an "A", being very on brand for her. Proving her limited knowledge of baseball, Lucy sees gloves with the names of Willie Mays and Babe Ruth on them, and is not ignorant of who they are, but also thinks that they are the gloves of regular neighborhood kids. Likewise, Lucy doesn't even get the gender of Babe Ruth correct, thinking that the Great Bambino was a girl simply due to his name.
