Charlie Brown
character in the comic strip Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Good Ol' Charlie Brown is the main character of the Peanuts comic strip, which is published in many countries worldwide. Charlie is often seen as a "lovable loser" and is very well-known. He is often nervous and lacks confidence, but also has moments of optimism and determination. Charlie Brown is easily recognizable by his round head and his shirt with a zigzag pattern. The creator of the comic strip, Charles M. Schulz, said that Charlie Brown is a "caricature of the average person" and must be the one who suffers because most people experience more losses than victories. Despite this, Charlie has also experienced happy moments and victories throughout the years, and he has shown self-assertiveness despite his nervousness. Schulz also said that Charlie Brown is usually the main character of each story. Charlie Brown is the only character who has appeared in the Peanuts comic strip throughout its entire run. He is eight years old for most of the comic strip's timeline. In the beginning, he lived in an apartment with his grandmother but later moved to a house with a backyard. He is usually referred to as "Charlie Brown" and never just "Charlie" by the other characters in the strip, except for Peppermint Patty and Marcie, who call him "Chuck" and "Charles," respectively. Lee Mendelson, the producer of the majority of the Peanuts television specials, has said that Charlie Brown is the ultimate survivor who has overcome bullying, whether it comes from Lucy or others.
