Why write?

 I’m astonished at the number of people who write to me saying, “why can’t you create happy stories for us?” “Why does Charlie Brown always have to lose?” “Why can’t you let him kick the football?”

Well, there is nothing funny about the person who gets to kick the football. Drama and humor come from trouble and sadness, and mankind’s astounding ability to survive life’s unhappiness.

Charles Schulz, 1980

You give them too much credit. Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens are not Jewish. In fact the whole romantic movement is pretty sad.
The only writer that can write about true Happiness and fun without melancholy is Francois Rabele.
