63 Years Later, the Best 'Peanuts' Sally Line Is Still an Iconic Comic Strip Quote

Charlie Brown is one of the most consistently unlucky characters in Western fiction. The degree to which life and the universe conspire to dump misfortune directly on his head is the beating heart of Charles Schulz's Peanuts . If you've got any problems at all, you can see what Charlie Brown's up to and be slightly cheered up by the knowledge that at least you've got it better than him. In almost 50 years, however, despite taking more Ls than a stuck typewriter, Charlie Brown almost never actually got mad about it.
