| - Rerun van Pelt is a major male character in the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. He is the younger brother of Linus and Lucy. Rerun is the youngest permanent character in Peanuts.
- Rerun started as a minor character in the Peanuts universe, only becoming a main character in the last decade of the comic strip. Rerun was first mentioned in the strip on May 23, 1972, during a storyline in which Lucy threw Linus out of the house only to learn that yet another little brother had just been born. Upon learning the news, Lucy exclaimed "A new baby brother?!! But I just got rid of the old one!!!" With that, she let Linus back in, uttering in misery, "You can't shovel water with a pitchfork."
- Performer(s) Appeared in "Rerun" van Pelt (his real name is never stated) is the younger brother of Lucy and Linus from the newspaper comic strip Peanuts. He was born during a 1972 storyline in the strip, in which Lucy throws Linus out of the house but then allows him back in after hearing that they now have a new baby brother. His nickname comes from a comment Lucy made, saying that getting another little brother was like watching a television rerun. Following his introduction, Rerun was mostly seen as a nervous back-seat passenger on his mother's bicycle when she went riding during the remainder of the 1970s. He rarely appeared in the strip during the 1980s, but eventually became a regular character in the 1990s.

| - Performer(s) Appeared in "Rerun" van Pelt (his real name is never stated) is the younger brother of Lucy and Linus from the newspaper comic strip Peanuts. He was born during a 1972 storyline in the strip, in which Lucy throws Linus out of the house but then allows him back in after hearing that they now have a new baby brother. His nickname comes from a comment Lucy made, saying that getting another little brother was like watching a television rerun. Following his introduction, Rerun was mostly seen as a nervous back-seat passenger on his mother's bicycle when she went riding during the remainder of the 1970s. He rarely appeared in the strip during the 1980s, but eventually became a regular character in the 1990s. As Rerun was such a prominent character in Peanuts near the end of its run, he appears in Charlie Brown's Christmas Tales and is also the central character of I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown.
- Rerun started as a minor character in the Peanuts universe, only becoming a main character in the last decade of the comic strip. Rerun was first mentioned in the strip on May 23, 1972, during a storyline in which Lucy threw Linus out of the house only to learn that yet another little brother had just been born. Upon learning the news, Lucy exclaimed "A new baby brother?!! But I just got rid of the old one!!!" With that, she let Linus back in, uttering in misery, "You can't shovel water with a pitchfork." The irony of the situation wasn't lost on Linus, who laughed himself silly over his sister's scheme being defeated, thus causing her to lose her temper and tie his blanket over his mouth. Lucy, who always wanted to be an only child (or to have a younger sister), is less than thrilled at the prospect of having a second younger brother, and comments that getting one was like watching reruns on television; thus, Linus comes up with the idea of calling the family's new addition "Rerun." "Rerun van Pelt! Good Grief!" mutters Lucy with a less-than-thrilled look on her face. Rerun's first appearance was on March 26, 1973, depicted as a nearly identical but smaller version of Linus. Over time, Lucy warmed up to Rerun and became something of a mentor to him, more kind with him than she had ever been with Linus. Linus also took Rerun under his wing in later years, unsuccessfully attempting to "convert" Rerun to his belief in "The Great Pumpkin," and taking his skeptical and embarrassed little brother along on door-to-door "missions" to spread the word of the Great Pumpkin.
