Good Grief! Sixty-Five Years of "Peanuts" and Charlie Brown
Sixty-Five years ago this month, the much-loved comic strip by Charles Schulz
appeared. http://comicsalliance.com/tribute-peanuts/ When I was a kid in the 1980s, Snoopy was everywhere-you could buy kids' books and toys featuring Schulz's pooch all over the place. Oddly, when I read the strip first I didn't like Charlie Brown. "Who wants to read about someone who always loses?" I thought as a child. It was only when I was older that I started seeing both the pathos and the charm of the boy who wasn't let kick the football. |

There's an ongoing project to reprint all the strips in chronological order, will be complete early next year. One of the first things I'm going to buy when I win the lottery and move into a house big enough to hold them all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Complete_Peanuts of Disguise", "Peanuts: It's Your Year Charlie Brown!" etc. There's quite a lot of them available everywhere- I wonder if Peanuts Worldwide (the company that owns the copyright) are doing a "push" on Peanuts books and merchandise to tie in with the anniversary. And there' a new "Peanuts" movie coming as well.... http://screenrant.com/peanuts-movie-...-cast-posters/ |
