From the Bookshelf: The Complete Peanuts 1963-1964

I've finished reading through the latest volume of "The Complete Peanuts" that I bought a few weeks ago. In a way, I can see it as a little encouraging that I've been posting to this journal for long enough to now have commented on two volumes of the series. As before, we're still in the comic strip's famous early-1960s period, although Charlie Brown is still at his most miserable too, and now both some of the Sunday and daily strips are ones I remember from books my family has had for quite a long time. There are still plenty of surprising "unseen" strips, though. One has Sally getting up from the television, finding her big brother, and asking, "Do you think there really is a person named Walt Disney?" It only seems more relevant nowadays.
