I'd pay a LOT of money (if I had it) for a recording of my grandfather reading the funnies to me.
Such good memories. I can almost hear his voice. He had a great voice

Snoopy imagining he's flying his Sopwith Camel into battle with the Red Baron was inspired writing. Of all laureates, you should know better. This strip was life and was meant to teach, not just entertain.
(And Pigpen... there was always that guy.)

The older I get, the more I appreciate The Peanuts. It really was a fantastic work all around.

The genius of Schulz and Peanuts was his tying of grown up problems and foibles with kids. Things didnt always work out; there wasn’t always a happy ending. The kids were resilient and kept trying even when things went horrible wrong.
My favorite continuing sketch was Charlie Brown’s favorite baseball player: Joe Shlabotnik. Charlie Brown’s ineptitude on the diamond is famous considering the only time his team ever won was when he missed the game due to getting sick on the mound, and his favorite baseball player was also awful. Here’s some examples:
How about when Linus bought tickets for Charlie Brown to meet Joe?
And then he doesn’t show up…
For some, Charlie Brown’s continuous suffering is not funny and mean to kids, but to so many people, Charlie Brown’s continuous optimism and passion for things that don’t always return that love is admirable and the essence of humanity.
RIP Mr Schulz

Same. I loved my dad. Found out after he passed last year he was given 3 bronze stars for valor in Korea and he never told us.
I'm still fighting with the VA bureaucrats to get the details on these. They've done nothing but stone walled me for a year.

Wasn't it Franklin's birthday though?

I remember a lot of the perpetually offended yelling racism over Franklin sitting by himself.

We're taking our toddler to a live jazz band Charlie Brown Christmas "concert" at a hotel lobby in Boulder next weekend. We went last year and it was actually pretty cool, other than how long it took to get a beer.
Tons of kids there, they all loved it.

Yeah. Snoopy was as cool as it gets. Flying his dog house.

It's not the VA that's the problem it's the National Archives in St. Louis where the military records are kept. My suspicion is that your dad's file was destroyed in the 1973 fire along with my father's (WW2) and two uncles (Korea and service after 1954)

I was given some kid's books to give to my kids. One was a Peanuts picture book, "Happiness is a Warm Puppy."
The kid had rewritten the captions in pencil. In one where Snoopy is looking down at his dog bowl, the kid had Snoopy saying "It's Doo Doo." In one with Lucy, she says "I just cut one" and there was an air balloon.

My spouse wrote Charles Schulz a letter in the 1960s. He wrote back and we found that letter when cleaning out an old secretary.

Sad how boomers could just draw a comic strip every day and be rich but millennials have to work 3 jobs to afford rent

You could draw a comic strip but nobody wants to read about millennials whining every day.
