555 95472\u00a0<\/b>[dancing left, above],\u00a0usually referred to as\u00a0“5”<\/b>, is a character in the comic strip\u00a0Peanuts<\/i>\u00a0by\u00a0Charles M. Schulz.<\/p>\n
He debuted in 1963, and continued to appear on and off in the strip until 1981. “5” has spiky hair and sometimes wears a shirt with the number five on it. 95472 is the family’s “last name”, or more specifically their ZIP code. In reality, it is the ZIP code for Sebastopol, California, where Charles M. Schulz was living at the time the character was introduced. “5” has to keep telling his teacher that the accent is on the\u00a04<\/i>\u00a0in his surname.\u00a0Snoopy\u00a0is confused as to whether the boy’s name is spelled 5 or as the Roman numeral V.<\/p>\n
As “5” once explained to\u00a0Charlie Brown, his father, morose and hysterical over the preponderance of numbers in people’s lives, had changed all of his family’s names to numbers. Asked by\u00a0Lucy\u00a0if it was Mr. 95472’s way of protesting, “5” replied that this was actually his father’s way of “giving in.” “5” also has two sisters named\u00a0“3” and “4”. (“Nice feminine names,” in Charlie Brown’s sarcastic assessment.) It can be assumed that their parents are named “1” and “2”.<\/p>\n
