A Chicago Cubs Epiphany

Something just occurred to me after reading today's installment of Classic Peanuts:

Charlie Brown is the Chicago Cubs. How do I figure? Well, think about this...

Charlie Brown just can't win. However, he does come pretty close sometimes. Remember the spelling bee? Just as he was about to win the big one...he failed miserably. But you can't say he didn't try his hardest. And no matter how miserably he fails, you can count on him to try again.

And no matter how miserably he fails, everybody loves Charlie Brown. At least, everybody with a heart does.
