'Which of the original "Peanuts" characters do you miss the most

[bluerose]

This was a minor character that didn’t make it past a few strips. I had never heard of her until I started collecting the Peanuts comic strip compilation books.

Most cartoon shows seem to use adults doing kid voices,

I know that was true of Winnie the Pooh. The voice of Winnie was done for years by Hal Smith, the guy who played town drunk, Otis, on the Andy Griffith Show. His voice also appeared in many other animated features.

I thought Sterling Holloway did the voice of Winnie the Pooh?

Sterling Holloway was indeed the voice of Pooh. Hal Smith voiced the Owl.

 

[CelticWarlord]

Yes he did, but Smith did it after Holloway’s death.

 

[CelticWarlord]

Smith actually did both after Holloway’s death.

I checked a few more pages and it seems he did do a few productions between Holloway’s death and when the next best known Pooh voice, Jim Cummings, took over.

I saw very few of the Pooh productions myself and only knew of Smith’s involvement when I saw him as a very old man doing the voice in an interview. I believe he was even sober. LOL
