You're Something Else, Charlie Brown
Just finished reading "You're Something Else, Charlie Brown," by Charles M. Schulz, published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston Inc.. back in 1968.
I discovered this collection of Peanuts comic strips that originally appeared in newspapers from 1968 at Chamblin's Bookmine.
Perhaps the most notable aspects of this collection is that it not only introduces Franklin as a major supporting character in the Peanut comic strip, but it also briefly introduces Jose Peterson, a young Hispanic boy who is an ace baseball hitter who plays on Peppermint Patty's team, but he doesn't have a speaking role and after four strips, he disappears, not having the same impact as Franklin did. Since Jose Peterson was introduced before Franklin, and this is just an assumption on my part, I think Schulz was testing the waters on how well a minority character would be received in his strip. Do keep in mind that I'm not actually a comics historian, so I may be wrong here.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
TEN STARS!
