Sidekicks and Second Bananas Episode 3 - Roy: A Good Temporary Friend

About this episode

The episode discusses Roy's friendship with Charlie Brown and Linus at camp and introduces Peppermint Patty.

Finally, it’s come to this: The Roy episode. Roy befriends both Charlie Brown and Linus at camp. And if that’s not exciting enough, old people talk about how neat telephones were. But maybe his main raison d'être is to introduce the world to the swinging-est character ever - Peppermint Patty.
