Recently my secretary came to work one morning and she said that her little boy had come home from school the previous afternoon, had removed his jacket, had thrown it down on the living room couch and said "Mom, I feel just like Charlie Brown." And all of the sudden it occurred to me after all of these years, this is the purpose of Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown is somewhat like a line of poetry. That little boy then, did not have to talk anymore about his feelings. The mother knew exactly how he felt. And I suppose this could be the reason for Charlie Brown's existence. If someone says to you "Boy, I feel just like Charlie Brown today" you know how he feels.
