Sorta. The whole point of the strip is that they don't talk or act like children.

"Schultz" is German for "brown". He's very much the author's adult POV, using a child-looking character to disarm the cynicism.

Brown in German is actually, wait for it, "braun".

Schultz actually is not German for brown. It's a name deriving from the name of a kind of medieval tax official.
