As much as Schultz was initially hesitant regarding this due to [[WhatDidYouExpectWhenYouNamedIt Charlie Brown's]] [[TemptingFate propensity for failure]], wishing to go the whole distance [[YankTheDogsChain but only getting halfway there]] is still kinda fitting for good ol' Chuck, isn't it?

Though the pile of bricks that was left still could think and react to Sally's speech, it was framed as a suicide (said pile of rubble thinking, "I had all I could take" and Sally even referring to the school as having committed suicide). This is a heavy enough subject for a strip like Peanuts, but it gets even more chilling when you realize that ''Schulz struggled with clinical depression for most of his life,'' and may have been writing the school's thoughts from his own experience.

* Lucy's shift from Linus's [[BigBrotherBully Big Sister Bully]] to Rerun's nicer [[BigBrotherMentor Big Sister Mentor]] makes sense beyond Creator/CharlesSchulz making the strip LighterAndSofter over the years. Eldest siblings will often attest that their SiblingRivalry is strongest with the second-born sibling, because the second-born was the one who first took away their status as their parents' one-and-only and forced them to get used to living with another child whose personality doesn't always mesh with their own. By contrast, when a third sibling comes along, the eldest is more prepared and able to get along with that sibling better. Of course not all families work this way, but many do, and it may well explain why Lucy is nicer to Rerun than to Linus.

* One story arc has Charlie Brown's baseball team making it into the championship game... and [[ForegoneConclusion the team loses because of Charlie Brown]]. However, the fact that Charlie Brown's team even ''made'' it to the championship game implies that they won at least a few games.
* In the Thanksgiving special, one of the things Snoopy serves Peppermint Patty and others is popcorn, which was probably actually served at the first Thanksgiving. Also (as lampshaded by Linus), the situation Peppermint Patty, Marcie, and Charlie Brown are in is similar to the one in the poem "Literature/TheCourtshipOfMilesStandish".
* Doubles with GeniusBonus and JustForPun: Why is Snoopy a World War I flying ace? Because he's a [[Literature/{{Biggles}} BEAGLE]]!
* Though it is a total coincidence, "Chuck" is actually a pretty apt nickname for Charlie Brown considering his limited success as a pitcher. And since Peppermint Patty is obviously sporty and does not play on "Chuck's" team it's funny to read it as a bit of underhand trolling on her part.
* The decision in the 1994 "You're in the Super Bowl, Charlie Brown" special to have Franklin representing the Houston Oilers[[note]]now Tennessee Titans[[/note]] counts considering that at the time of the special's production and original broadcast the Oilers were one of the few UsefulNotes/NationalFootballLeague teams with a black quarterback, in this case future Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon.
