The Little Red-Haired Girl

silhouette profile of a girl

FIRST APPEARANCE:

November 19, 1961

Charlie Brown is head over heels for The Little Red-Haired Girl, his unrequited love. He often spends his lunch time pining away for her on an empty bench. She’s technically not the one who got away, because he’s never had the courage to get close to her. She’s simply the pretty girl, with beautiful red hair who Charlie Brown thinks hung the moon. If only he wasn’t too wishy-washy to say ‘Hello.’

DID YOU KNOW:

"Some of the offstage characters reach a point where they could never be drawn. I think the little redheaded girl is a lot like the inside of Snoopy's doghouse. Each of us can imagine what she must look like much better than I could ever draw her, and I am sure that every reader sees a different doghouse interior and would be a little disappointed if I were to attempt to draw it in detail." —Charles M. Schulz
