From Peanuts by Charles Schulz, May 1951
October/November 1950.
this one rewired my brain a bit
AAAAND SECOND PART
Yk what I absolutely adore, but I find people always seem to fundamentally misunderstand about Charlie Brown? How loved he is in universe.
Sally comes to him for homework help and advice, and even when she's disappointed, still refers to him affectionately as "big brother". Linus is his best friend who is constantly there to listen and help him make sense of the world around him. Schroeder stands up for him on multiple occasions and he and Franklin consider him to be one of their closest friends and choose to hang out with him all the time. Marcy respects him on a fundamental level, her understanding even rivals Linus's at times. Peppermint Patty has a crush on him and treats him as a worthy competitor in baseball, despite how shit his team is. The Little Red Haired girl is either unaware or reciprocates his feelings (depending on the media). It's implied he has a very good relationship with his dad, who's a barber who takes him to his work. He and Snoopy have a very special bond. And even though she puts him through hell, at the end of the day, Lucy really does respect and like him, after all, she is the one who says the famous line "You're a good man, Charlie Brown".
Yes, Charlie Brown is constantly getting shit on from people like Violet and Patty, the world really does have it out for him when it comes to his dumb luck, and his arguably biggest foe is how little he thinks of himself, which is what sets him up for the most failure in my eyes. But he is not unloved. He is so incredibly loved and surrounded by supportive people, and I think that's something people need to get right about the peanuts universe, that Charlie Brown is loved.
TLDR; Charlie Brown is not a social outcast. He has friends. People like him. He is loved. It is lovely.
Yippieee
