8 Bizarre Peanuts Characters You Probably Won't See In The Peanuts Movie

6. Peggy Jean

Peggy Jean became Charlie Brown€™s first girlfriend when they met at summer camp €“ or, to more accurate, she was the first girlfriend of Brownie Charles, because that€™s how a flustered Charlie Brown introduced himself to her. Ultimately Charlie Brown€™s insecurities and bad luck put an end to the relationship, especially when he couldn€™t choose between dating Peggy Jean or continuing to pine for his longtime unrequited love, the Little Red-Haired Girl. In Peggy Jean's final appearance in the strip, she reveals to a brokenhearted Charlie Brown that she has a new boyfriend. As nice as it is to see Charlie Brown happy €“ at least for a little while €“ Schulz firmly believed that what made Charlie Brown so easy to relate to and what made the strip so funny was all the obstacles and disappointment Charlie Brown faced in his life. In fact, what makes Peggy Jean so weird is that the effect she has on Charlie Brown makes him into almost a totally different character. Charlie Brown having a girlfriend for much a movie wouldn€™t make him as much of a loveable loser€ even if she always calls him by the wrong name.
