Charlie Brown

A boy wearing a yellow shirt with a black zigzag

FIRST APPEARANCE:

October 2, 1950

Good ol’ Charlie Brown is loyal, determined, and just a bit wishy-washy. He’s a true friend, a dedicated baseball manager, and very responsible when it comes to taking care of his dog, Snoopy. Charlie Brown never gives up, even when he probably should. He is kind and patient by nature, and wears his heart on his sleeve. He likes helping others, but try as he might, he just can’t seem to help himself.

Charlie Brown's dad is a barber just like Charles Schulz's father was.

DID YOU KNOW:

"Charlie Brown must be the one who suffers, because he’s a caricature of the average person. Most of us are much more acquainted with losing than winning. Winning is great, but it isn’t funny." —Charles M. Schulz
