Eudora is a character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz. She has long, straight black hair and usually wears a knitted hat. Eudora moved to Charlie Brown's neighborhood from another state, though which state was never specified. The first person she met was Sally, on the bus to summer camp on June 13, 1978. Eudora also showed up in Sally's class at school that fall. The two girls quickly became friends, although their friendship was strained for a while when Eudora managed to charm Linus into giving her his blanket. Sally did not take kindly to that, since she had a crush on Linus herself. Eudora gave the blanket to Snoopy's arch-nemesis, the "stupid cat who lives next door," and it took the combined forces of Linus, Snoopy and Woodstock to get the blanket back. Eudora was depicted as occasionally being even more "ditzy" than Sally, trying to give a book report on the TV Guide and coming to school on Saturdays without realizing what day it was. Eudora also played on Charlie Brown's baseball team, taking the outfield spot next to Lucy that had once been held by Frieda, before the latter disappeared from the strip. Eudora would eventually disappear as well, with her swan song coming on June 13, 1987, nine years to the day after her introduction. Eudora was the last new character to join the Peanuts world who could arguably be classified as a "major" character. Any new characters introduced after her only made limited appearances as part of specific storylines.
