You know that Pigpen was the name of a Peanuts/Charlie Brown character since like the 50's...right?

I'm going to ignore the snide tone of your comment and simply assure you that, yes, I am familiar with the Peanuts character. I simply didn't expect high schoolers in the 90's to be that aware of a newspaper comic strip.

I was in high school in the 90s and the comics were the only part of the paper I read. It still had Peanuts at least through 94/95 ish.

Maybe not the comic strip but the TV specials were already pushing 30 years old at that point, and I’d reckon 95-100% of your classmates had seen those
