Charlie Brown is bald (or almost bald) mainly for symbolic and artistic reasons, according to Peanuts creator Charles M. Schulz:
* To emphasize childhood vulnerability. Schulz wanted Charlie Brown to look small, plain, and a little insecure, reflecting how kids often feel on the inside.
* To make him relatable. Charlie Brown represents the “everykid”—ordinary, awkward, and imperfect. His lack of hair visually reinforces that idea.
* Cartoon simplicity. Early comic strips were drawn quickly, and simpler designs worked better. Charlie Brown’s minimal hair stuck and became iconic.
* Visual contrast. Other kids in Peanuts have distinctive hair (Linus’s blanket, Lucy’s bangs, Schroeder’s piano obsession). Charlie Brown’s near-baldness makes him stand out by not standing out.

Fun detail: Schulz once said Charlie Brown does have hair, just so little that it’s barely visible—hence the few squiggly lines on his head.

In short, Charlie Brown’s baldness is a visual shorthand for his gentle, anxious, everyman personality.
