He's bald at 7 and completely failed in the only relationship of his short life.
Plus he's a whiny little c**t.

But his greatest failure was a lack of self-belief, or so it seemed to me.
He was a great judge of his own character.
When I was a kid, I didn't worry about failing. I was just a kid, so that meant all failure was OK, or even 'cute'.
Quote: Nogget @ January 14 2011, 9:04 AM GMTI loved aspects of Peanuts as a kid, but I couldn't ever understand why Charlie Brown himself was such a depressive.
That was the joy of his character.

I wanted to visit the Schulz museum when we stopped for lunch in Santa Rosa during a 3-day drive from L.A. to Seattle but we didn't have the time. One of these days ...
Many years ago I'd just met a girl who was allergic to peanuts, and she ended up in hospital with a massively-swollen...
...actually I've just had a large vodka and probably shouldn't finish that story in case she ever reads this. Suffice to say she didn't realise I'd been eating peanuts on the train to see her and things got - complicated. Still makes me shudder.
Good Grief!

Did you know that in Malaysia, the word for peanut (kacang) is slang for clitoris?
I didn't know this, Kenneth, but I shall bear it mind when I'm next there.
The TV version of Peanuts was superb, one of the very best animated series ever, imo. Snoopy's vivacious personality was much more evident than on the page, as was his oddly polarised relationship with his child depressive and habitual loser owner.
Loved Charlie Brown myself, the arch anti hero of children's fiction, the sort you shouldn't be wanting kids to be idenifying with or liking. That's why I liked him so much, he was an honest creation.
Has anyone else noticed that it often says 'sex' on his forehead? The strands of his hair spell out what Schultz thought was his problem, evidently, from a Freudian perspective. An ingenious device. The jazzy score was also very good indeed. A great show.

That's been playing on my computer on repeat since I saw this thread. That and Nirvana's cover of Seasons in the Sun. Same song, really.

Well, I don't really think so
I had several Peanuts books. Loved them. Might look into getting some more. I imagine there's at least three compilations available.
Oh god, I HATE that thing.

Peanuts was ace. I loved Lucy especially when she used to pull the football away at the last second. I also loved her Psychiatric stall like a Lemonade stand, she was a great charater.
My mother worked with a guy named Charlie Brown. He was a special forces soldier in Vietnam and was not someone you'd want to mess with. Those guys are killing machines.
