Happy Hooligan
Charles Schulz's Charlie Brown is a good example of a modern-day comic strip that inspired movies, plays, and books.

Can you imagine tricking someone into throwing a bucket of water on a policeman's head? Watch this video and see how Hooligan, dressed as a tramp, encourages an organ-grinder to play, makes a woman furious, and gets grabbed by an angry policeman. What other types of trouble do you think Hooligan gets involved in?
