About Pigpen
Pig-Pen is a boy that represents an “I don’t care what people think” attitude. He is extremely dirty and is always surrounded by a cloud of dirt and dust. When he dances, dust rises up so much that it makes people cough. But, that’s not due to lack of effort on his part. There are many times when Pig-Pen tries to keep himself clean. But the moment he steps outside, he instantly becomes dirty again exclaiming to Charlie Brown that he’s a “dust magnet.”
But for all his flaws, he takes them in stride and doesn’t let it ruin his attitude. He sometimes takes pride in the cloud of dust that surrounds him, calling it “The Dust of Ancient Civilizations.” The only other character that likes Pig-Pen other than himself is none other than Charlie Brown. He wholeheartedly accepts the dirtiness that makes Pigpen well…Pig-Pen.
