The darkest moments of Peanuts.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Peanuts usually featured lighthearted storylines, but the legendary comic strip was not without its dark moments. Usually, good-natured ribbing, witty remarks, or funny character tropes are a happy veneer on some dark comics and even dark storylines. For instance, Charlie Brown's neuroses are often shown as a joke about how highly strung he is.
9 "That Little Red Haired Girl" Published in 1972 Jealousy is something everyone has experienced at one time or another, even the most secure and content of us. Peppermint Patty, as much as she postures a tough persona, is actually very sensitive, as this comic shows. Moreover, the strip reveals that Patty is insecure about her looks, especially when she compares herself to the Little Red-Headed Girl.
Snoopy and his siblings are always good for a laugh. However, there are exceptions, especially when Olaf is involved. Snoopy's brother, Olaf has been down on his luck, winning an ugliest dog contest, which cannot be good for the self esteem. He even has the nickname Ugly Olaf. While the jabs at Olaf's aesthetic deficiencies aim to be lighthearted, readers see the effects of the constant digs at his appearance when Olaf tries to hurt himself when he is upset.
4 "Lonely Again" Published in 1990 Snoopy's arrival causes Charlie Brown to engage in an existential thought spiral with some sprinkles of loneliness thrown in for good measure. 2 "Our TV Set" Published in 1975 Since Peppermint Patty has a fear of sleeping alone in the house at night, Charlie Brown, being the good friend he is, has Snoopy be her guard dog so that she can get a good night's sleep. It backfires massively because Patty wakes up to see that her house has been robbed while Snoopy, the world's greatest guard dog, is fast asleep.
