The Woobie/Newspaper Comics

Here's a list of characters from Newspaper Comics you just want to give a big hug to:


 * Satchel Pooch from Get Fuzzy. He's constantly being abused both verbally and sometimes physically as well, particularly by Bucky. Also, let's not forget the fact his father is ashamed of him.
 * Bucky's British cousin Mac Manc Mcmanx counts as an Iron Woobie. He's an Ugly Cute cat whose dialect almost no one can understand, his girlfriend Julie (who may or may not be an abusive Complete Monster) beat up on him (giving him one nasty head injury) and he was mistaken as a terrorist and detained by airport security for a month. A MONTH? Someone give that poor cat a hug! He's a real Sad Clown, that's for sure!
 * Charlie Brown, of Peanuts fame. His failures are innumerable, his struggles immeasurable, and his determination unflappable. Young fans would send Valentines Cards and Halloween candy to CBS when they saw that he never received either, in an attempt to demonstrate their love for him.
 * This troper could not watch Peanuts because of the sheer pain it caused him when the poor bastard got screwed yet again at the end of every episode. Hate you, Status Quo Is God, hate.
 * This sums it up pretty well.
 * Woodstock also is often bullied by Snoopy. Come to think of it, Snoopy has his moments as well.
 * Linus becomes this the second you take his security blanket from him.
 * Whenever Linus is in that pumpkin patch, you can't help but want to join him.
 * Apparently so much so, that in It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Lucy even went so far as to take him home and put him in bed when she found him shivering in the pumpkin patch in the middle of the night.
