Charlie
Brown wins your heart with his losing ways. It always
rains on his parade, his baseball game
and his life.
He's an inveterate worrier who frets over trifles (but who's to say they're
trifles?). Although he
is concerned
with the true meaning of life, his friends sometimes call him "blockhead."
Other than his
knack for putting
himself down, there are few sharp edges of wit in his repertoire; usually
he's the
butt of the
joke, not the joker. He can be spotted a mile away in his sweater
with the zig zag trim,
head down, hands
in pocket, headed for Lucy's psychiatric booth. He is considerate,
friendly and
polite and we love him knowing that he'll never win a baseball game or
the heart of the little red-haired girl,
kick the football
Lucy is holding or fly a kite successfully. His friends call him
wishy-washy," but his spirit will
never give up
in his quest to triumph over adversity.
