This is a true story.

There really was actually a historical Charlie Brown.

He was born on February 23,1926.

He was a art buddy of Charles Schulz.

Charles asked Charlie if he could use his name for his character

so Charlie agreed and that is how it all started.

The difference between the person and the character is this:

Charlie Brown the person did not say “Good Grief”

nor did he wear a Zigzag t-shirt,yet Charlie Brown the character did.

He died on December 5,1983 and he was only 57.

He never married and he battled alcoholism and manic depression.

Yes they’re different,

yet he did direct a young people’s journal at Notre Dame.

The real life Pepperment Patty said that he was the life of the party.
