History Main / CharlieBrownBaldness

Some characters have [[AnimeHair outrageous, gravity defying hairdos]]. On the other hand, there are characters like this, with only two or three strands of hair. To a casual viewer, a character with Charlie Brown Baldness will appear, well, bald. However, the character may occasionally mention getting a haircut, or other characters will comment on said haircut or colour. The current {{Trope Namer|s}} is [[{{Peanuts}} Charlie Brown]], who at first glance appears bald save for a few short curls in front, but according to {{Word of God}}, just has incredibly light blond hair, buzzed short.

* Iggy from {{Little Lulu}}
* Jimmy Five from ''MonicasGang'', who is often called "baldy" despite having only, well, five strands of hair.

** Since ''The Simpsons'' has NegativeContinuity, the kids' spikes are alternately hair and ''part of their skulls''.

** Also thanks to NegativeContinuity, Homer has lost his hair in [[MultipleChoicePast many different ways]]. One episode shows a young Homer losing hair as he brushes ("plenty more where that came from"), another shows him pulling out his hair after each time he learns Marge is pregnant (after the first two, he's down to 3 strands of hair, and he pulls one more upon hearing about Maggie). The first example came from the second season, while the second came from the sixth season.
* Many of the male characters on ''EdEddNEddy'' appear to have only a few strands of hair, or fuzz—only Rolf has full, visible hair. When fan-artists draw the cast [[SelfFanservice more attractively]], they tend to make assumptions about hair color. The exception is Johnny, who is often referred to as being bald.
** Johnny does appear to have hair, fuzz on his head at least; he had a FunnyAfro as a toddler. Fans tend to draw him with an afro or a fade. Also, it's been shown that the main gang does have hair. Ed usually appears to have a black buzz cut, but once he had his hair combed it and turns out he's a red-head with medium length hair at best. Eddy arguably has been shown to have blue hair, though it could be wigs since we've never seen it on-screen change.
* The title character in the preschool cartoon series ''{{Caillou}}''.
* ''{{Doug}}''

-->'''Homer:''' I swear, that if I ever reveal the secrets of the Stonecutters, that my stomach shall become bloated, and my head plucked of all but three hairs...\\

* In ''{{The Order of the Stick}}'', Belkar appears to be {{Bald of Evil}}, unless you look closely -- he has tiny reddish hairs sticking straight up. Looks something like a buzzcut. Note also that the hair on his head is identical to [[{{Hobbits}} the fur on his feet]].

These two contradictory stories both take place in second season.
