Revisiting my inner child with ...

"THE BUMPER BOOK OF PEANUTS" - Charles Shultz (2016 USA)

        My drafting stand (that A4 prop you put your draft-scribble on so you can read it as you type) has had a Charlie Brown classic stuck on it since about forever.

        What can I say - I can relate to Charlie Brown. And I love Snoopy, especially as the World War One Fighter Ace doing battle with the Red Baron. It's the kid in me. Everyone should have one, a kid in them I mean, no matter how old they get.

        This is the last of my Xmas 2023 collection, thought I'd best get through it before starting on the 2024 batch, and besides, the Peanuts Gang is a good way to round out the year's reading, has all the drama and pathos and frailties of the human condition. And a great depth of philosophical thought. I think I would only rate Calvin & Hobbes better. By a small tiger's whisker. Garfield makes up the triumvirate. The only three graphic short stories I read.

        Okay, that's all. Something adult soon.

        Cheers....
