You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown

Peanuts cartoons copyright 1963 & 1964. Charlie Brown has a sore elbow from too much baseball and Snoopy has to get a rabies vaccination and other silliness. Even fifty-plus years later, the Peanuts strip is still a wonderful read.

By Charles M. Schulz

Peanuts / Charlie Brown cartoons copyright 1975.

Slide, Charlie Brown! Slide!

Peanuts / Charlie Brown comic strips, copyrighted 1960, 1961, 1962.

Charlie Brown once again suffers the anguish of being a crummy baseball manager/player, with no help from his "friends" or his dog, Snoopy, who surpasses Charlie Brown in talent and charisma.
