And it was after a long sequence of her being mean and Charlie mostly just taking it.

So essentially, Charlie Brown appreciates his dad for the relationship he has with him, not because heâs objectively better than other dads. That fits CBâs character and the ethos of the series much better than âboys>girlsâ.

He clearly had a better dad than Linus and Lucy did.

I considered that, and the reaction seems a bit strong⌠itâs not like a privileged white girl canât possibly expect a better life than Charlie Brownâs, even in 1958.
On that note, Brown and Schroderâs bickering about Crockett and Beethoven springs to mind.
(Late. Forgot about the thread.)
Depends. Some start that way for whatever reason, some develop that trait based on how they are handled. Itâs also the entire spectrum, from mild grumbling that doesnât even really deserve to be lumped with the latter in the same term to murderous hate.
Depends on the interpretation.
In principle, that is true. In practice the brain tends to do statistical clustering, usually biased by the severity of the experience (repeated rejection can be a rather rough ride, social pain shares circuitry with physical one (yes, painkillers work on social stuff too, somewhat), many a physical injury hurts less than a psychological one) and many other cognitive biases, with predictable results. Raw logic can do only so much to attenuate it, and many donât apply it at all. It is unfair. But it is also common, with all sorts of variables, not just gender.
Oh wellâŚ
8 minutes to go, so Iâm finally coming in that I always interpreted CBâs response as an assertion of âheâs my dad - isnât that enough?â Which is how he pretty much approached his barber-dad throughout the run of the strip. His dad was nothing fancy, couldnât hold a candle to Violetâs dad - but he was CBâs dad, and thatâs all that mattered to him.
