Line 49:
*** The final strip was this for me as well as a heartwarming moment.
** ''Why, Charlie Brown, Why?''
** While not as soul-crushing as ''[[Snoopy Come Home]],
* [[Toy Ship]]: Many of the strip's male/female relationships would qualify as this.
* [[Values Dissonance]]: One strip from the mid-fifties [[Played for Laughs]] the fact that Linus had mistaken his first snowfall for the fallout from a nuclear war.
Line 56:
** There's also a bunch of still-relevant political humor in ''You're (Not) Elected, Charlie Brown'' and the strips that it was based on. The fact that they haven't dated is probably due to Schulz lampooning the overall election process rather than a current election or event of his day.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: Some people actually thought that Peppermint Patty was not a [[Tomboy]], but a ''real'' boy. It doesn't help that in some of the animated adaptations, she is ''voiced'' by a boy, and that in the 80s and 90s, it became a little more acceptable for young males to have longer hair than it would be in the 50s-70s. (Where it was ''older'' men who had longer hair primarily!)
** Plus, she's drawn with ''shorts'' -- Schulz would often draw the other girls with ''skirts''.
* [[Were Still Relevant Dammit|We're Still Relevant, Dangit]]: [[Two Words: Obvious Trope|One word]]: ''Flashbeagle''.
** In one of the last daily strips, Sally is writing a letter to [[Harry Potter]]. Not as obvious as the previous trope, but this was written around the time the books were becoming popular.
