Which cartoon character does Kevin look like?

This question has been at the back of my mind for some time now--which cartoon character does Kevin look like? It especially comes out after he gets a haircut. I had a feeling it was one of the minor "Peanuts" (Charlie Brown) characters . . . and I was right! After a little research, I found out who I'd been thinking Kevin resembles . . .

SHERMY!

(I think it's the haircut, and the cheeks.)

Shermy was one of the four original characters in the comic strip Peanuts, by Charles Schulz. Schulz named him after a friend from high school. Shermy was often portrayed as Charlie Brown's superior at the things that mattered to Charlie Brown, especially athletics. He was mainly utilized as a "straight man" for Charlie Brown. Shermy's major physical characteristic was his short, dark hair, which he usually wore in a crew cut. Apparently Schulz himself was not a big fan of this look, even though he never changed it, as he once commented that he "disliked" the way he drew Shermy's hair. Shermy appears in several of the animated Peanuts TV specials, beginning with A Charlie Brown Christmas in 1965, where he has one line of dialogue. Upon being cast as a shepherd in the gang's Christmas pageant, he laments, "Every Christmas it's the same: I always end up playing a shepherd." Shermy's last actual appearance in a Peanuts strip came on June 15, 1982. Schulz expressed no regrets at dropping Shermy from the cast, remarking many years later that it had gotten to the point by then where he only used Shermy in situations where he "needed a character with very little personality."*

Well, at least Kevin has a lot more personality than Shermy!
