<b>Charlie Brown comes to life like never before in this giftable pop-up book featuring the first-ever Peanuts comic strip in <i>Here Comes Charlie Brown!</i></b> <p/> Charles M. Schulz introduced readers to "Good Ol' Charlie Brown" on October 2, 1950, with the publication of the very first <i>Peanuts</i> comic strip--considered the most iconic comic of all time. It is also a perfect haiku of art, text, and paranoia, with a variation of the Browning sonnet "How Do I Love Thee?" thrown in for literary measure. Everything that is great about Schulz and <i>Peanuts</i> is established right out of the gate in these four perfect panels, which have influenced every comic strip that has followed. <p/> With this innovative, palm-sized pop-up book, cartoonist and comics historian Gene Kannenberg Jr. brings that very first comic strip to life for a whole new generation, as well as for longtime fans of the classic and beloved brand.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Charles M.
