Charlie Brown

Charlie Brown is a central character in the "Peanuts" comic strip created by Charles M. Schulz. He represents the everyman, often struggling with feelings of insecurity, failure, and unrequited love, particularly toward his classmate "the Little Red-Haired Girl." Known for his distinctive round head, striped shirt, and a persistent sense of optimism despite repeated setbacks, Charlie Brown embodies the themes of perseverance and vulnerability. His interactions with friends like Snoopy, Lucy, and Linus reflect universal childhood experiences, making him an enduring symbol in popular culture since the comic's debut in 1950.
