Lucy van Pelt first appeared in 1952 the Peanuts comic strip, just two short years after it started. Lucy Van Pelt burst into the popular daily, becoming the high-voltage catalyst to ignite the comedic fire under the loveable members of the original Peanuts gang. Lucy's take-charge attitude and annoying self-confidence immediately cast her as one of the favourite characters of the strip. Ageless she is still an irrepressible little girl who enjoys the same popularity as a the bass recorder player the Midi Ragtime Recorder Ensemble as she does with Peanuts.
