In Schulz’s words, “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 Schulz suffered from depression his entire life, which generally came out in his work.

Charlie Brown steals home – hero – not funny. Charlie Brown tries to steal home – only gets half way – funny.

This type of comics make me feel bad about CB, but they are also funny. That´s the essence and the reason I like them so much

This is one of the cases where Charlie Brown only has himself to blame. If he wasn’t so obsessed with “being the hero,” he would have stayed on 3rd, let the team’s best hitter have a chance to hit the ball, and then scored the tying run. Or at the very least, let the batter hit into an out so the batter’s the goat instead of him.
