Good Grief Brown! We talk to Dr Blake Ball, author of Charlie Brown's America, The Popular Politics of Peanuts about the social commentary of the Peanuts. The security blanket of Linus, the Christmas pageant and Franklin were Charles Schulz's gentle commentary about American society in the last half of the Twentieth Century. If you are a Peanuts Fan, no matter what age, you will discover some nuggets of interesting facts about Charlie, Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Franklin, Snoopy and the rest of the gang. This charming and well written book features Peanuts comic strips, advertisements, and some rarely seen original artwork by Charles Schulz.
