Very Funny Charlie Brown

From the Wilbraham Public Library book sale, Wilbraham MA USA, 2024.

Title: Very Funny, Charlie Brown
Date: 1968
Publisher: Fawcett Gold Medal
Writer: Charles M. Schulz
Artist: Charles M. Schulz

Paperback collection of Peanuts cartoons compiled from the larger collection You're Out of Your Mind, Charlie Brown Vol. 1. This was a great collection of older Peanuts material. It covers a lot of the classic jokes: Lucy pulling the football away, kites stuck in trees, baseball games rained out, and Snoopy doing everything at very high speed.

There was also a cartoon about the fear of nuclear war. And I appreciated all of the classical music references in Shroeder's scenes.

Interestingly, the adults do get dialogue rather than mumbles in these cartoons, although it does always come from off-panel.

This was a quick and enjoyable read.

Rating: 8/10
