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.
