| "Good grief, Charlie Brown" That's the only time off hand I can recall friends calling another friend by their full name. And when we watched it as kids, we all said, "They all call him by his full name. No one does that." |

Thank you :-) But, of course, that's part of the joke in Peanuts; the other characters call Charlie Brown by his full name as some sort of stylized conceit to bring home the fact that he is somehow separate from all of the other kids. Very different situation with DEAR EVAN HANSEN. |

| I'm also not aware that anyone else, aside from Lucy and Linus (Van Pelt) even had a last name. :-) | |

| That’s a style feature that goes back to the very first strip of PEANUTS | |

| In which Shermy and Patty (not the later Peppermit Patty) watch Charlie Brown pass, and remark, “Here comes Charlie Brown. Good ol’ Charlie Brown. How I hate him.” He’s never just plain Charlie, though Peppermint Patty calls him Chuck. Laura, comics nerd |
