peanuts, still funny. sort of.

Sadie is reading Peanuts.

I got this beautiful new edition of a Peanuts book a bit back. Actually it was for Delia, but Sadie (the reader) took it, and it's now squirreled away in her top bunk. I found this 1964 edition at Powell's over the weekend and the cover graphics just kill me. So cool. We can hear her laughing, hard, every night at these strips— which warms my heart because I loved Peanuts so much growing up. Nothing like that sad/funny combo. She thinks Lucy's yelling is so funny, which it is, but is kind of depressing too, since I think I read Lucy is modeled after Charles Schulz's first wife or something like that.

I love this cover. Charlie Brown is the only one happy, for a change.
