Review of
You’ve Come a Long Way, Snoopy,
by Charles M. Schulz ISBN 0449203581
Five out of five stars
Philosophy and truth from the mouths of cartoons
Much of the
content of this book of cartoons can be summed up in the dialog of the last
image of the first page. It is, “No book on psychology can be any good if one
can understand it!” This thought can be applied to a great deal of professional
writing. The usual cast of characters of the Peanuts comic strip are present
and their problems are their normal ones.
Charlie Brown’s
baseball team is still losing all their games, sometimes for odd reasons. The
relationships are all what they have been, yet the consistency is not boring.
There is always enough variation to keep the strip interesting.
In the Peanuts
strip, the problems of youth that we all had are paramount. For most of us, the
same issues, such as approaching a person of the opposite gender, remains
throughout our entire life. Even though the characters have problems, reading a
book like this always lifts your spirits.
