I remember reading an interview with Charles Schulz many years ago. He mentioned how a character in his cartoon strip could take over the strip and at times, Schulz would just wait on what that character would do. The interviewer was incredulous how a cartoon drawn by Schulz could do that. Violet never had a character that would let her become the dominant female in Peanuts, but Lucy did.

Violet was indeed ill-treated by Sparky. I guess the cast was just too large, so some characters had to be furloughed….
