Information
Gender Female

Molly Volley was a female character who first appeared on May 6, 1977, and was often Snoopy's doubles partner in tennis. A very hyperaggressive tennis player, she really did not suffer fools gladly, and therefore had a very bad temper, a great aversion to losing and a reputation for beating up others (including other doubles partners). She had a tendency to be highly sensitive about her weight. In fact, one of her opponents, a bully called "Bad-Call" Benny had called her "Fat Legs". For that insult, she hit him in the mouth. She also measured all her ground-calls in centimeters. She did get along well with Charlie Brown, with whom she explained how it really is with tennis. (How tennis stars aren't found at Wimbledon, or Forest Hills. But on local bumpy courts) In fact, he and Linus were the only ones who usually watched her and Snoopy play.

Her most constant opponent was a loudmouthed, always crying girl named "Crybaby" Boobie, who joined the strip in 1978. "Crybaby" (a nickname, her real name was never revealed) had a tendency to cry and complain about absolutely everything. These traits, not to mention the car horn honking antics of her stage-door mother, always tended to drive Molly crazy. Thusly, she would often tell Crybaby, "Shut up and serve!!!" Tired of always losing while playing doubles with Snoopy, she eventually refused to be his doubles partner and then she disappeared from the strip.
