Charlie Brown is the principal character of the comic strip Peanuts, syndicated in daily and Sun newspapers in numerous countries all over the world. Depicted as a "lovable loser," Charlie Brown is one of the great American archetypes and a popular and widely recognized cartoon character. Charlie Brown is characterized as a person who oft suffers, and as a result, is unremarkably nervous and lacks self-conviction. He shows both pessimistic and optimistic attitudes: on some days, he is humble to even go outside because his day might simply be spoiled, but on others, he hopes for the best and tries as much as he can to accomplish things. He is easily recognized by his trademark zigzag patterned shirt.

The character's creator, Charles M. Schulz, said that Charlie Brownish "must exist the i who suffers because he is a extravaganza of the average person. Most of us are much more than acquainted with losing than winning." Despite this, Charlie Chocolate-brown does not always suffer, as he has experienced some happy moments and victories through the years, and he has sometimes uncharacteristically shown cocky-assertiveness despite his frequent nervousness. Schulz besides said: "I like to have Charlie Brown eventually be the focal point of almost every story."[one] Charlie Brownish is the only Peanuts graphic symbol to have appeared regularly in the strip throughout its unabridged 50-twelvemonth run.

Lee Mendelson, producer of the majority of the Peanuts television specials, has said of Charlie Brownish that "He was, and is, the ultimate survivor in overcoming bulliness—Lucy or otherwise."[2]

Charlie Brown'south age is neither ordinarily specified nor consistently given. His altogether occurs in the strip published on October xxx, 1950.[3] He is four years erstwhile in a strip published November iii, 1950.[4] He ages very slowly in the strip'southward floating timeline, eventually settling at around eight years erstwhile. A strip published on April 3, 1971, suggests he was born around 1963 (setting up the gag that when he is 21, it will be 1984).[5] Initially, Charlie Chocolate-brown suggests he lives in an apartment, with his grandmother occupying the one in a higher place his; a few years into the strip, he moves to a house with a lawn.[6]

History [edit]

1940s–1950s [edit]

Offset Peanuts strip, October 2, 1950. From left-to-right: Charlie Dark-brown, Shermy, Patty.

The character'due south name was kickoff used on May 30, 1948, in an early Schulz comic strip called Lil' Folks, in which one boy has buried some other in a sandbox and so denies that he has seen the other boy ("Charlie Chocolate-brown") when asked. The grapheme made his official debut in the first Peanuts comic strip on October 2, 1950. The strip features Charlie Brown walking by, equally two other children named Shermy and Patty wait at him. Shermy refers to him as "Skilful Ol' Charlie Chocolate-brown" equally he passes by, but then immediately reveals his hatred toward him once he is gone on the last panel. During the strip's early years, Charlie Brownish was much more lighthearted and impish and non the dour defeatist he would soon become. He was something of a smart-aleck and oftentimes played pranks and jokes on the other characters. His signature zig-zag pattern first appeared on his formerly patently T-shirt on Dec 21, 1950. Past Apr 25, 1952, his T-shirt was changed to a polo shirt with a collar and the zig-zag.[7] On the March 6, 1951, strip, Charlie Dark-brown first appears to play baseball, equally he was warming up before telling Shermy that they can get-go the game; however, he was the catcher, non however the pitcher.[eight]

Charlie Brownish's relationships with other Peanuts characters initially differed significantly from their after states, and their concepts were grown upwardly through this decade until they reached their more-established forms. An instance is his relationship with Violet Gray, to whom he was introduced in the Feb vii, 1951 strip.[9] The two constantly remained on fairly good terms, a flake different from their later somewhat tepid relationship. In the August sixteen, 1951, strip, she called Charlie Brown a "blockhead", being the outset time Charlie Dark-brown was referred past that insult.[x] The strip for November 14 of that year featured the kickoff advent of the famous football gag, with Violet in the function that would later be filled past Lucy.

Charlie Dark-brown is introduced to Schroeder on May thirty, 1951.[eleven] Equally Schroeder is however a infant, Charlie Chocolate-brown cannot converse with him. On June 1 of the same year, Charlie Dark-brown stated that he felt like a male parent to Schroeder;[12] in fact, for quite some fourth dimension, he sometimes acted like a begetter to him, trying to teach him words and reading stories to him. On September 24 of that year, he taught Schroeder how to play the piano, the instrument which would after get Schroeder'south trademark.[thirteen] On that year's October 10, strip, he told Schroeder the story of Beethoven and prepare the pianoforte player's obsession with the composer.[fourteen] Charlie Brown placed the Beethoven bosom on Schroeder's piano on November 26, 1951.[15] Later, Schroeder and Charlie Brownish were portrayed every bit beingness about the same historic period, and Schroeder became Charlie Brown's closest friend after Linus Van Pelt. Schroeder became the catcher on Charlie Brownish's baseball game squad for the first time in the April 12, 1952 strip.

In early on 1959, Charlie Brown (and other Peanuts characters) made his first animated appearances subsequently they were sponsored by the Ford Motor Visitor in commercials for its automobiles, as well as for intros to The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show.

Titled A Charlie Brown Christmas, it was first broadcast by the CBS network on December 9, 1965. The special'southward primary goal is showing "the true meaning of Christmas". Before A Charlie Brown Christmas was broadcast, several of those involved in the special'south cosmos were worried that it might be poorly received, with its unorthodox soundtrack and overt religious bulletin; however, it turned out to be a huge success, with the number of homes watching the special an estimated 15,490,000, placing information technology at number 2 in the ratings, behind Bonanza on NBC.[16] The special'southward music score made an equally pervasive impact on viewers who would later on perform jazz, among them David Benoit[17] and George Winston.[18] A Charlie Chocolate-brown Christmas was honored with both an Emmy and Peabody Award.

The success of A Charlie Brown Christmas was followed past the creation of a 2nd CBS television special starring Charlie Brownish, Charlie Chocolate-brown'south All-Stars, which was shown on June 8, 1966.

Prior to its opening, the musical had no bodily libretto; information technology was several vignettes with dialogue adapted from Peanuts strips and a musical number for each one.[xx] Since Patty was such a weakly defined character in Schulz's strip, she became a composite grapheme in the musical, with much of her material taken from Violet and Frieda in the strip.[ citation needed ] On March 7, 1967, the musical premiered off-Broadway at Theatre lxxx in the East Village, featuring Gary Burghoff as Charlie Brown.[20]

The film received largely positive reviews from critics[28] [29] and audiences alike,[30] and grossed $246 one thousand thousand worldwide against its $99 million budget,[31] making it a box office success.

Inspiration [edit]

Charles Thousand. Schulz with a cartoon of Charlie Brown. While they have very few appearance similarities, the love creator modeled his shining star'due south personality afterward his own.

Charlie Brown's traits and the events he underwent are inspired by those of Schulz, who admitted in interviews that he'd oftentimes felt shy and withdrawn in his life. In an interview with Charlie Rose in May 1997, Schulz observed: "I suppose there'southward a melancholy feeling in a lot of cartoonists, because cartooning, like all other humour, comes from bad things happening."[32] Furthermore, both Charlie Brown's and Schulz's fathers were barbers and their mothers housewives. Charlie Dark-brown's friends, such as Linus and Shermy, were named afterward good friends of Schulz, and Peppermint Patty was inspired by Patricia Swanson, ane of Schulz'due south cousins on his female parent's side. Schulz devised the character's name when he saw peppermint candies in his house.[33] [34] Even Charlie Brown's unrequited love for the Little Ruby-Haired Girl was inspired by Schulz's own love for Donna Mae Johnson, an Art Didactics Inc. accountant; When Schulz finally proposed to her in June 1950, before long after he'd made his kickoff contract with his syndicate, she turned him down and married some other homo.

Personality [edit]

Charlie Brown is a shy, meek, kind, innocent, gentle-hearted character with many anxieties.[35] [36]

Charlie Brown is always referred to by his full proper noun (with the exceptions of Peppermint Patty who calls him "Chuck", Marcie, Eudora, Violette and Emily who phone call him 'Charles', Peggy Jean who calls him "Brownie Charles", and Sally who calls him "Big Brother", though on extremely rare occasions, Lucy, Violet, Patty and Frieda did call him just "Charlie") and his usual catchphrase is "good grief". Similar Schulz, Charlie Brown is the son of a barber. The character is an case of "the great American united nations-success story" in that he fails in almost everything he does with an almost continuous streak of bad luck; simply notwithstanding keeps trying with huge efforts and work, resulting in either more losses or neat victories. Some of these victories are hitting a game-winning home run off a pitch by a pocket-sized character named Royanne on a strip from 1993,[37] and his victory over Joe Agate (another minor character) in a game of marbles on a strip from 1995.[38] Although Charlie Brown is often unlucky within the strip's storylines, in some ways Charles M. Schulz created through the ever-persevering character "the most shining example of the American success story in the comic strip field."[35]

Charlie Brownish cares very deeply for his family and friends, even if he was maltreated by them. His care for his sister is shown on a strip from May 26, 1959[39](the strip in which his piffling sis Emerge was born), when he exclaims: "A Babe SISTER?! I'Yard A FATHER! I hateful my DAD'southward a male parent! I'M a brother! I accept a baby sis! I'G a brother!" at her birth, and 2 strips later threw a celebration over it by handing over chocolate cigars to his friends. When Charlie Chocolate-brown was maltreated by his companions (most oftentimes Lucy, Violet and Patty), he does not ordinarily have out his anger on them, but often retaliates and even manages to turn the tables. An example is a strip from 1951, which features Violet and Patty telling Charlie Brown that they are non going to invite him to their party, with Charlie Brownish replying that he does non wish to get to their "dumb ol' political party" anyway, leading the two girls to invite him.

Christopher Caldwell has stated that "What makes Charlie Dark-brown such a rich character is that he's not purely a loser. The cocky-loathing that causes him and then much anguish is decidedly not cocky-effacement. Charlie Chocolate-brown is optimistic enough to think he tin earn a sense of self-worth, and his willingness to do so by exposing himself to humiliations is the dramatic engine that drives the strip. The greatest of Charlie Brownish's virtues is his resilience, which is to say his courage. Charlie Brown is ambitious. He manages the baseball team. He'southward the pitcher, not a scrub. He may be a loser, simply he'southward, strangely, a leader at the same time. This makes his mood swings truly bipolar in their magnificence: he vacillates not between kinda happy and kinda unhappy, but between beingness a "hero" and being a "goat"."[1]

Birthday and age [edit]

Charlie Brown said in an early on strip (Nov 3, 1950)[4] that he was "simply four years erstwhile", just he aged over the next 2 decades, existence half dozen years old as of November 17, 1957, and "eight-and-a-one-half years old" by July 11, 1979. Later references continue to peg Charlie Brown every bit being approximately eight years quondam.[40]
