Perhaps it's just another case of a creepy guy being creepy.

Perhaps Peter Robbins' obsession is another case of an actor (or artist, or what have you) getting too involved with their own character. Shultz ended up writing about the "little red headed girl" for the rest of his life in the Peanuts comic book strip.

Shultz dated a woman named Donna Mae Johnson for three years before proposing, and was devastated when she said no and promptly married a fireman. Charlie Brown the character is known for being entirely self loathing and somewhat creepy when it came to his obsession with a certain "redheaded girl," a character based off of a girl from cartoonist Charles Shultz's own life.
