6. Peppermint Patty

There’s really nothing to hide her folks. Not even her “unrequited love” for Charlie Brown can fools us for one second. Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz specifically stated that his character concept for Peppermint Patty came from the women’s liberation movement of the 1960s, which caused him to make his first female character that wore shorts and sandals instead of a dress and shoes. Patty also comes from just a single-parent household, where he father loves her dearly but works late on weeknights, which causes Patty to have anxiety and poor sleeping habits. This tomboy of the Peanuts gang is devoted to athletics, calls Charlie Brown “Chuck,” and has her best friend refer to her as “Sir.” You’re not fooling anyone, Peppermint Patty, and we love you for it.
7. Waldo

If you’ve seen The Little Rascals, you remember just how dastardly rich kid Waldo was. From his maniacally coiffed hair, the stylish clothes, that talent show performance…this was a pretty obvious one. We know that all the fussing over Darla was just for show, probably to impress his oil tycoon dad (played by Donald Trump.)
8. Salem

Salem Saberhagen is easily the sassiest cat ever to have appeared on television. We’re not exactly sure how old this witch-turned-cat is, but banished into cat form for a love-related crime we’re not totally sure about—the backstory changes depending on the version—Salem filled our days with one-liners, short quips, and a general gayness that anybody could have detected. Coming from a home dominated by his mother and once set on world domination, it looks like Salem still has a lot of soul-searching to do.
