Book
A Charlie Brown Religion
Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts comic strip franchise, the most successful of all time, forever changed the industry. For more than half a century, the endearing, witty insights brought to life by Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and Lucy have caused newspaper readers and television viewers across the globe to laugh, sigh, gasp, and ponder. A Charlie Brown Religion explores one of the most provocative topics Schulz broached in his heartwarming work-- religion.Based on new archival research and original interviews with Schulz's family, friends, and colleagues, author Stephen J. Lind offers a new spiritual biography of the life and work of the great comic strip artist. In his lifetime, aficionados and detractors both labeled Schulz as a fundamentalist Christian or as an atheist. Yet his deeply personal views on faith have eluded journalists and biographers for decades. Previously unpublished writings from Schulz will move fans as they begin to see the nuances of the humorist's own complex, intense journey toward understanding God and faith.\"There are three things that I've learned never to discuss with people, \" Linus says, \"Religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin.\" Yet with the support of religious communities, Schulz bravely defied convention and dared to express spiritual thought in the \"funny pages, \" a secular, mainstream entertainment medium. This insightful, thorough study of the 17, 897 Peanuts newspaper strips, seventy-five animated titles, and global merchandising empire will delight and intrigue as Schulz considers what it means to believe, what it means to doubt, and what it means to share faith with the world.

Blurring interspecific boundaries: antropocentrismo e discorso controegemonico nelle vignette umoristiche di Charles Schultz, Gary Larson e Dan Piraro
Il confine che, secondo la tradizione occidentale, separa gli esseri umani dagli animali non umani è alla base dell'interpretazione antropocentrica del mondo e del sistema di potere che le ecofemministe definiscono come \"anthroparchy\". Data la sua capacità di rompere le regole, è possibile ipotizzare che l'umorismo riesca a scalfire questa visione egemonica. Per verificare una simile ipotesi, l'articolo prende in esame l'opera di tre disegnatori statunitensi che, seppure con tecniche e strategie differenti, aprono uno spiraglio in questa direzione: Charles M. Schulz (Peanuts), Gary Larson (the Far Side) e Dan Piraro (Bizarro).

The madness of Charlie Brown
Early on, she worked in general medicine, persuading the neighbourhood children to lie down on the sidewalk and cough, in an attempt to literally \"stamp out\" the common cold: \"No germ has ever been able to build up a defence against being stepped on!\" She will \"treat any patient who has a problem and a nickel\", and once charged Charlie Brown US$143 for an unsolicited slide-show of his faults. Another time, haunted by the meaninglessness of his losses, he decides to spend the rest of his life lying in a dark room, only to emerge, stooped and shattered, when he realises he has to feed the dog.

Peanuts and American Culture: Essays on Charles M. Schulz's Iconic Comic Strip ed. by Peter W. Y. Lee (review)
Since the passing of Charles M. Schulz in 2000, the legacy of America's most well-known comic strip Peanuts has been the subject of much conversation, particularly in regard to its persistence beyond the life of its creator. In the introduction, Lee describes the book as further considering \"the historical and cultural context that shaped and reflected Schulz's 17,897 strips by contextualizing the comic strip in the larger Cold War milieu\" (3). [...]in \"Cold War Snoopy, or, Do Beagles Dream of Electric Bunnies?,\" Brandt closes the collection with an exploration of Snoopy's \"playbeagle\" persona, which emerged as a \"retreat from his human masters' demands\" for coping \"with anxieties and uncertainties as the Cold War progressed\" (194).
