Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for January 23, 2023

How much longer was it until she was finally pulled off as a semi-recurring cast member?

I hope it’s a sound dampening blanket.

Charlotte tone it down some!

People that are hard of hearing will talk loud sometimes. Maybe she needs to have her hearing checked.

The Blanket Of Silence.

Hush, Hush, “Sweet” Charlotte!

Trade her to BLOOM COUNTY or ALLEY OOP! For a rock. Pocket lint. ANYTHING!

Says plenty when your opposite gender counterpart is someone people dread.

It’s interesting that Schulz used a speech balloon rather than a thought balloon (with bubbles) in the first panel. Makes it look like toddler Linus is actually saying the words. The same is true with Snoopy in these early strips.

Hee. I have read Peanuts my whole life, but I don’t remember this character at all, which is too bad, because I really like her.

Well THAT shut her up‼️☺️☺️

It just hit me. Is Charlotte Charlie Brown’s female alter ego?

In April 2000, two months after Schulz died, a Peanuts fan named Elizabeth Swaim informed the Library of Congress that she would be donating a letter to the library, which was revealed that she had written to Schulz in 1955, requesting him to remove Charlotte Braun from the strip. Schulz replied that he would be willing to do so but said that the person who wrote to him would be responsible for “the death of an innocent child”. Schulz concluded the letter with a picture of Charlotte Braun with an ax in her head. The letter is now in the United States Library of Congress. https://peanuts.fandom.com/wiki/Charlotte_Braun

Sound proof blanket?
