The Unsinkable Charlie Brown
(Ages 6 and up)
It's all still there: the sibling rivalry, not to say hatred; the frustrated ambition, the merciless females, the nebbish males, the unrequited love. Yes, it's in King Lear, but I'm talking about Charlie Brown. Eulogized as a seminal influence by a platoon of subsequent cartoonists, including Art Spiegelman, the late Charles M. Schulz mastered the psychopathology of everyday life. It's a relief for kids, and everyone else, to see it writ small in a comic strip. You might have to search used book outposts for The Unsinkable Charlie Brown but other Schulz titles are available online.
