Re: I found Charlie Brown sad, not funny

No, you're doing it right.

I mean, it is comedy, but it's a kind of quietly pathetic, very sad comedy. It's absolutely very sad and that's exactly why it's so brilliant and one of the best newspaper strips of all time. Schultz is able to strike that tone so precisely and carry it off so well. I think this is less true of the animated adaptations, which is maybe why the popular imagination remembers it as happier than it is, but it's very, very sad.

OP

Yeah, and come to think of it the one that really bothered me was actually the animated movie (I... think), You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown which may have stayed more faithful to the comics. I read the comics too, I read anything with words on a page as a kid, but I think I was mostly familiar with the animated adaptations which tended to have more focus on the happier stuff, I think.
