• Practically every single moment of Charlie Brown's life could be described as a tearjerker. He's just a perfectly nice little boy,destined to forever have all his victories, no matter how small or insignificant, cruelly snatched away from him. But he's just so brave. He never gives up. Which sometimes makes it sadder. There's only one time he's actually managed to win at something, which was a Crowning Moment of Awesome. Charlie Brown is the kind of character you just want to hug.

  • The arc where Snoopy's doghouse is destroyed by a fire. He got a lot of condolance letters from fans.
