Charlie Brown
Round-headed kid
Charlie Brown is the central character of the comic strip *Peanuts*, created by Charles Schulz.
He's a perpetually anxious, self-doubting boy whose attempts at success—kicking the football, winning a baseball game, talking to the little red-haired girl—end in failure.
The name evokes lovable losers and chronic underachievers: He's such a Charlie Brown about asking for a raise.
