There are numerous iconic duos who star in the Peanuts comics, like Charlie Brown and Lucy, Woodstock and Snoopy, as well as Peppermint Patty and Marcie. However, there are several dynamic duos in Peanuts lore who don't get mentioned nearly as often as they should.

Whether it is due to being a duo with one or more underrated characters - who were either always ing or did not last for the Peanuts strip's entire run - many character pairings may not get the mainstream love that other couplings have gotten. Likewise, some other underrated Peanuts pairs seem to fly under the radar because more famous friendships overshadow them. For instance, Linus has many notable duos, like with Sally, Lucy, and Charlie Brown. As a result, his hilarious friendship with Snoopy gets overlooked. Nevertheless, the underrated Peanuts suos are receiving their due now.

10 Sally and Lucy

Debuted August 23rd, 1959 & March 3rd, 1952

Both Lucy and Sally are very close to Charlie Brown, but that does not mean they're very nice to him. Despite Lucy and Sally being Charlie Brown's friend and sister, respectively, they still poke fun at him with each other - a bonding experience for the pair. While Lucy sometimes plays mean pranks on Sally, she holds a special place in her heart for her. In fact, Sally is nearly the only character who Lucy is hardly ever crabby or rude to, which says a lot because Lucy is crabby to almost everyone.

Since Lucy is a little older than Sally, she is akin to a big sister for the youngest Brown child. Sometimes they are a dangerous combination, like when they tried to oust little Rerun out of the sandbox so the two of them could have it to themselves. Moreover, Sally once had Lucy act as her bodyguard against bullies when Charlie Brown couldn't cut it.

9 Peppermint Patty and Charlie Brown

Debuted August 22nd, 1966 & October 2nd, 1950

A very close friend of Charlie Brown's, both in the comics and animated specials, is Peppermint Patty. Much like how Charlie Brown has unrequited love for the Little Red Haired Girl, Peppermint Patty has unrequited feelings for Charlie Brown - or, as she calls him, Chuck. He loves her too, but just as a friend, making for some tense (yet funny) moments between them, like when Peppermint Patty unsuccessfully tries to bait Charlie Brown into revealing any potential romantic feelings he has for her.

Everyone knows Peppermint Patty and Marcie as an inseparable duo, but her and Charlie Brown's friendship deserves its spotlight too.

Regardless, the pair can still talk openly with one another, with the bossy peppermint Patty frequently roping Chalrie Brown into doing all sorts of things he would not do otherwise. Everyone knows Peppermint Patty and Marcie as an inseparable duo, but her and Charlie Brown's friendship deserves its spotlight too.

8 Snoopy and Rerun

Debuted October 4th, 1950 & March 26th, 1973

An unexpected but surprisingly sweet duo, Snoopy and Rerun are quite the pair. With Rerun being the youngest of the group and Snoopy being the wisest (in his mind at least), the combo of youth and wisdom all rolled into one makes for an interesting duo. A sweet and funny storyline involves Rerun wanting to borrow Snoopy from Charlie Brown a lot, since Rerun's mom will not let him own a dog.

From that point on, the two began to do more and more together. They played card games, catch, and played in the snow, as seen in later comic strips. Moreover, Snoopy became Rerun's companion, with the youngest Van Pelt confiding to the beagle about anything and everything. While Snoopy did not always have the nicest responses to Rerun's thoughts, Rerun still seemed to appreciate the listening ear nevertheless.

7 Schroeder and Woodstock

Debuted May 30th, 1951 & February 19th, 1951

Woodstock is almost always associated with his best friend Snoopy. They are basically stuck at the hip together most of the time. However, that does not mean that the pair does not spend time with other of the Peanuts gang from time to time. Schroeder and Woodstock, both characters who are more known for their association with more famous characters, band together, creating a very underrated pairing. While Schroder plays piano, Woodstock will play on the music bars that show Schroeder's music playing in the comic strip.

Likewise, Woodstock will sing along with Schroeder's piano playing in many Peanuts strips, the two of them forming their own makeshift jam session. Although, much like how Schroeder tends to get annoyed by Lucy hanging around him, he sometimes gets irritated by Woodstock, as represented by his musical notation chasing Woodstock far away.

6 Andy and Olaf

Debuted February 14th, 1994 & January 19th, 1989

Snoopy has quite a few siblings, a fact that was not revealed until about twenty-five years after the strip's beginning. Once his brothers and sisters were introduced, however, they became beloved Peanuts characters. Two such characters are Snoopy's brothers, Andy and Olaf. While most of Snoopy's siblings are close after they're reunited, Andy and Olaf form a particularly close bond and do not appear separate from one another after a certain point.

Andy's design and name stemmed from Charles Schulz's personal life, as he owned a wire-haired fox terrier dog named Andy starting in 1988.

The pair travel everywhere together and even try to look for the home of their other brother, Spike, in hopes of living with him in the desert. They take a long journey, during which they end up getting lost multiple times. As the old saying goes, the family that gets lost together, stays together - or something to that effect.

5 Molly Volley and Charlie Brown

Debuted May 6th, 1977 & October 2nd, 1950

A little known character who is mostly limited to the tennis-themed Peanuts strips, Molly Volley has appeared in more comics overall with her doubles partner, Snoopy. However, Molly Volley is actually the closest to Charlie Brown. Given her temper and extreme competitive nature, it comes as a surprise that not only does she consider Charlie Brown a close buddy, but she is also incredibly nice to him, something many Peanuts kids (and even Snoopy) cannot say themselves.

Molly Volley shares her views on tennis and on how winners are made with Charlie Brown while he cheers on her and Snoopy from the sidelines. Both her and Charlie Brown have dealt with their fair share of bullying, using that experience to be kinder friends to one another. The wholesome friendship doesn't last, however, as Molly Volley is ultimately booted from Peanuts, making her last appearance in 1990.

4 Snoopy and Linus

Debuted October 4th, 1950 & September 19th, 1952

While Linus may be Charlie Brown's best friend, he and Snoopy are also quite good friends... even if Snoopy does try to steal Linus’ security blanket all the time. Alternating between annoyance - stemming from Snoopy trying to steal from him - and true friendship makes for a number of side-splitting as well as heartwarming Peanuts strips starring Linus and Snoopy.

Linus is the inspiration and namesake behind the charity organization Project Linus, which donates homemade blankets to kids and adolescents dealing with illnesses or life difficulties.

​​​​​​​Snoopy has tried to help out Linus multiple times throughout the strip. Once, when Linus gets kicked out of the house by Lucy, Snoopy (as Joe Cool) lets Linus sleep in his doghouse. Moreover, Snoopy, as his World Famous Attorney persona, has been a lawyer on behalf of Linus multiple times. He always loses the case, but he nevertheless tries to help his pal Linus. As much as they may squabble over a security blanket, they still remain friends.

3 School Building and Sally

Debuted July 8th, 1971 & August 23rd, 1959

School Building and Sally have a long and complicated history. Sally starts off by absolutely loathing the building since she hates school. However, as time es, and she finds that the school building will listen to her complaints when no one else will, Sally forms a deep bond with it. She even ends up tasking Charlie Brown with telling School Building when she stays home from school when she is sick, just so School Building will know why she can't see it.

School Building also sticks up for Sally, throwing a brick at Linus' head when he yells at Sally to not call him her boyfriend. Having a deep care for School Building, Sally has hugged it and told it she loves it, making School Building feel loved like never before. Seeing the duo go from a hatred-indifference relationship to one of friendship and joy is just one of many wonderful attributes of this criminally underrated dynamic duo.

2 Marcie and Franklin

Debuted July 20th, 1971 & July 31st, 1968

Being the intellectuals of the Peanuts gang, Marcie and Franklin often find they have a lot in common. They can commiserate with each other or help the other out when in need. Likewise, they tend to make fun of Peppermint Patty's inability to stay awake during class or her lack of turning in assignments. Both Marcie and Franklin live in the same neighborhood, so they have a closer bond compared to the other core Peanuts kids since they are not as close to them as they are to each other.

Moreover, Marcie and Franklin are in the same class, so they discuss their classwork or Peppermint Patty's less than studious qualities a lot of the time. While both characters are incredibly smart and hardworking, they are also some of the more level-headed characters of the Peanuts gang, with Marcie balancing out the big, brash Peppermint Patty and Franklin balancing out the neurotic Charlie Brown.

1 Snoopy and Spike

Debuted October 4th, 1950 & August 13th, 1975

Spike is Snoopy's brother, as well as the first of Snoopy's siblings to be introduced to readers. While Spike may spend most of his time in the desert where he lives, he still pops in to visit his brother, Snoopy. Spike manages to bond with the Peanuts kids, even Lucy, who wants to fatten the very thin Spike up. However, no two are closer than Spike and his brother Snoopy.

The beagle even tries to scare off the cat next door by saying that his brother will beat the cat up. Moreover, the brothers invite each other for Thanksgiving, but always manage to mess something up, like going at the wrong time and just missing each other. Additionally, in many Peanuts strips, Spike participates in Snoopy's active daydreaming and pretending, like in Snoopy's Flying Ace fantasies, and is always a ive brother.
