==Upchuck in Fanfiction==
* For a long time, Upchuck was portrayed as slime in ''Daria'' fanfics, exaggerating his canon persona. (See the first [[The Look-Alike Series]] story, where Upchuck being physically assaulted is cheered by other characters and meant to be cheered by the reader) In
[[Image:Daria_ultrasuave.jpg|right|frame|??!!]]▼
* Also, some fan works have presented the theme of Charles having a crush on [[Daria Morgendorffer|Daria]]. This is based on Upchuck's web page in ''[[The Daria Diaries]]'', where his "Gallery of Feisty Babes" includes a silhouetted "Mystery Lady" whose profile is obviously Daria. ("I fear she'd kill me if I revealed her identity.") This has been played both innocently and romantically (e.g. [[Identity Crisis]] by [[Yui Daoren]]) and with darker tones ([[Falling Into College]] serial, by [[Richard Lobinske]])▼
** The other two common love interests for him are Stacy (due to their interaction in [[Life in the Past Lane]]) and [[Andrea]].
* Upchuck's antics are usually played upon for laughs in fanfiction; however, the [[Falling Into College]] found Upchuck's activities crossing over into criminal affairs, as the character was found to be a long-time stalker of Daria's, with many videotapes and photographs of her during her last year at [[Lawndale High]] and of her return visits during her first two years at [[Raft University]]. After being arrested for his activities, Upchuck was finally incarcerated after attempting to 'jump bail' and travel to Boston to find Daria; he did this after breaking into [[Schloss Morgendorffer]] and finding that Daria had not returned for Thanksgiving break. Later episodes have shown Upchuck having found some measure of peace for himself, as well as attempting to work past his fixation upon Daria.
Line 72 ⟶ 77:
* Charles appeared twice in an artwork by [[Wouter]] in the first one Jane confronts him if he actually is aware of how he comes across towards girls and if he has any grasp of what actually BEING a woman is like. Charles responds by asking Jane the opposite question, did she any harbor any desires to be a man, Jane's reply leaves him in tears, knowing that Jane would have made a far more masculine man than he could ever be.
Charles' second appearance is in the Halloween 2010 comic where he's seen puking after drinking the punch at Brittany's party (which Kevin had put olives in after the grapes had run out) Andrea is there to comfort him while Daria remarks that he finally "lives up to his nickname."
