"Good Grief, Charlie Brown!"

Interesting review of Schultz by Bill Watterson (Calvin and Hobbes).

I was a huge fan back when I was a kid. Even wrote a fan letter (I also wrote Dick Van Dyke, but never got an answer). I recieved (and I think I still have) a mimeograph letter that was very much appreciated. I'm sure my letter was quite inane.

It's easy to discount the influence of Peanuts, but, as Watterson points out, Schultz was a pioneer in many ways.
