June 5, 1953: Back when Charlie Brown had self-esteem

I have to admit to feeling this way myself sometimes. I don't usually take Charlie Brown's tack to resolving it however, because... well, for exactly this reason.

In panel two, compared to the door, notice that Charlie Brown seems very small. There is no way he could reach the door handle. To state it plainly, usually the characters are drawn so they wouldn't have to reach up so far to reach doorknobs.

Made a minor edit....

October 22, 1952: Thanks for clarifying, girls

Instances like this can't be good for a kid's self-esteem. It is difficult to imagine, by the way, these little kids playing bridge. Charlie Brown's supposed to be about four or five right now, although it's possible that it's not Contract Bridge.

I'd like to point out that Charlie Brown breaks the fourth wall in the last panel.
