History Heartwarming / Peanuts

** In one Sunday strip shortly after Sally was born, Charlie Brown was writing to his pen(cil) pal about Sally's birth ("We like her and she likes us")...then puts the letter on hold to put a new baby bottle in the bottle warmer, check its temperature once it's done, and deliver it to his (offstage) parents for Sally's feeding. After that, he resumes the letter: "In a way, this has been a good experience for me. I have learned a lot." It's sweet to see him take such an active role in Sally's care and feeding, especially as young as he is, and shows how devoted he's been to Sally from the get-go.

* In an arc from 1976, Lucy asked her teacher why they were learning about famous men in history and not famous women. She proceeded to read an essay she had written about her grandmother, who worked as a riveter in a construction plant during World War II. Lucy's admiration for her grandmother was evident throughout the report. She concluded her report by encouraging the class to learn about their own grandmothers.
-->"We need to study the lives of great women like my grandmother. Talk to your grandmother today. Ask her questions. You'll find that she knows more than peanut butter cookies. Thank you."

* In the Snoopy Show episode Battle for the Blanket, after ''once again'' getting into a classic chase with Linus over his blanket, a very irked Linus tries to retaliate by swiping Snoopy's supper dish. However, instead of getting angry at Linus like Linus does when Snoopy swipes his blanket, the poor beagle bursts into tears. Hearing Snoopy's sobs, Linus decides he can't go through with it. He has a heart-to-heart with Snoopy, wishing that sometimes, he would sometimes give Linus a break, which the beagle understands. At this moment, it shows despite the never-ending gag, there are no hard feelings between the two.

** After throwing a disaster New Year's party to prove her self-worth, Lucy is reminded that her friends love her no matter what and she ends up singing "For Aude Lang Syne" with everyone.

* ''You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown!'' can be summed up with the title of another special, "You're a good sport, Charlie Brown," as Chuck is nothing but courteous and supportive towards his rivals when competing in the decathlon. While Freddie Fabulous and the Masked Marvel don't really return the sentiments, it's something Marcie definitely notices as she's been cheering for Chuck during the entire course of his training and when they compete against each other directly. Before the final event, the two of them mutually agree, "ItHasBeenAnHonor."

* Even after he got rich off of the strip and could've very easily hired someone else to do it, Schulz drew every strip by himself, until the very end. Every. Single. One. DoingItForTheArt is a ''massive'' understatement.

* In the Snoopy Show episode Battle for the Blanket, after ''once again'' getting into a classic chase with Linus over his blanket, a very irked Linus tries to retaliate by swiping Snoopy's super dish. However, instead of getting angry at Linus like Linus does when Snoopy swipes his blanket, the poor beagle bursts into tears. Hearing Snoopy's sobs, Linus decides he can't go through with it. He has a heart-to-heart with Snoopy, wishing that sometimes, he would sometimes give Linus a break, which the beagle understands. At this moment, it shows despite the never-ending gag, there are no hard feelings between the two.

* On November 26, 2020 [[https://schulzmuseum.org/tribute/ numerous other comics]] paid tribute to what would have been Charles's 100th birthday.

** Peppermint Patty wins an ice skating competition.

* Linus's talk with Charlie Brown at the end of ''A Boy Named Charlie Brown'' to get his best friend back on his feet after humiliating himself on national TV.

* In a story arc where Linus had to wear glasses, Lucy says to Charlie Brown that Linus looked like a "little owl", showing she DOES care for her little brother. It becomes funny when Lucy threatens to slug Charlie Brown if he tells Linus she said so.

* "Snoopy's Christmas". The Red Baron considers pulling the trigger on Snoopy but is moved to kindness when he hears church bells ringing. He orders Snoopy to land his plane in the Rhineland and greets him with "Merry Christmas, my friend!" They have a toast together and then [[DoTheyKnowItsChristmasTime go their separate ways]].

* In "''I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown''", Rerun asks if he could buy Snoopy. Charlie Brown tells him that he can... for a hundred billion dollars.

** Even Lucy worries and cries over Charlie Brown being in the hospital. This culminates in her standing outside at night, saying, "Charlie Brown, I know you can't hear me, but I want to make you a promise. Charlie Brown, if you get well, I promise to never pull the football away again!" She didn't keep that promise, but it's the thought that counts.

* The ending of ''You're in Love, Charlie Brown'': Charlie Brown tries to catch the Little Red Haired Girl on her way to the bus on the last day of school, but the crowd gets in his way, and he misses what he thinks is his last chance to tell her he likes her. Then he notices that someone in the crowd slipped a note into his hand. What does it say?
-->I like you, Charlie Brown. Signed, Little Red Haired Girl

* ''WesternAnimation/WhyCharlieBrownWhy'': Linus's friend gets leukemia and is in the hospital. Linus is saddened, but has two very distinct [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Moments of Awesome]]. He stands up to Lucy, and tells her that leukemia isn't contagious. He also stands up to a schoolyard bully who laughs at the girl for not having any hair.
** Also, it's strongly implied that Linus has romantic feelings for his friend; he gives her a big smile whenever he sees her, enjoys pushing her on the swings, and supports her throughout her treatment. But one moment stands out the most; before he and Charlie Brown leave the hospital, Linus promises Janice that he'll push her on the swings forever, leading the two to share a hug. Tell me that doesn't make you go AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!

* [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1960/11/03 This post-Halloween strip]], after the Great Pumpkin has once again failed to appear.

* In a 1972 story arc, Snoopy and Woodstock have a bitter falling-out over reading ''Literature/WarAndPeace'' (ItMakesSenseInContext). Then Linus informs Snoopy that the cat next door "has got Woodstock". So what does he do? Leaps over the fence and physically attacks the cat, getting mauled in the process, to save his little friend! (Granted, it turned out that the cat had actually just gotten hold of an old yellow glove, but it's the thought that counts.)

* Also, [[http://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1959/09/13 the early strip]] where Sally - then still a toddler - falls happily asleep on Snoopy's back, effectively immobilizing him, as Charlie Brown repeatedly calls him for dinner. Snoopy's longing for grub is clear in his expression, as is his concern in not rudely awakening the peacefully-slumbering Sally. Charlie Brown eventually irritably gives up. Snoopy remains in place. Sally remains gently dozing, with a big smile on her face. Gradually, with a small sigh, a rueful-yet-pleased smile spreads across Snoopy's...

* In a 1972 story arc, Snoopy and Woodstock have a temporary falling-out. Then, towards the end, Linus tells Snoopy that the cat next door "has got Woodstock". So what does he do? Leap over the fence and physically attack the cat, getting mauled in the process, to save his little friend! (Granted, it turned out that the cat had actually just gotten hold of an old yellow glove, but it's the thought that counts.)
