She's about to square up to bunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOOT Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 This is from 1958, so more Silver Age, but thought GA Peanuts fans might enjoy seeing this. The Stanford University Chaparral Crash Comics Magazine featured this fun Charlie Brown parody cover. I've been watching out for these Stanford Chaparral Crash Comics for many years and this is the only copy I've seen of this issue. In case you're thinking it's a shotgun wedding cover, here is the fine print at the bottom of the cover: "Synopsis: Indignant citizen apprehends teenage delinquent in act of stealing basketball from mentally retarded child to whom she has given poisoned jawbreaker, while cleverly disguised law enforcement officer records notes in cleverly disguised Crimestoppers textbook...and as for you, Dear Reader, 'Evil to him who evil thinks.'" buttock, Sarg and Surfing Alien 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The girl and the man with shotgun was probably based on the syndicated comic “Bobby Sox” by San Francisco based artist Marty Links. The girl was Emmy Lou and the man her dad. The officer was obviously D Tracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Surfing Alien Posted January 31 Popular Post Share Posted January 31 It has been a while since I posted on this thread but figured it's appropriate to re-post here from the paperback thread. I've been working quietly behind the scenes to research and publish a guide to the First Edition, First Printings of the early Peanuts digest sized strip reprint books published by Rinehart & Co. and subsequently by Holt, Rinehart and Winston from 1952 through 1974. For reference, they look like these: You can work on something forever, tweak endlessly and always wonder if its done and never publish it Any of you involved with any research probably knows that circle jerk intimately Well, I promised myself that I would get it online this January and here it is, January 31st and work has been busy and I ran a sale thread and February 1st is looming and it promised to be the day I blew that self-imposed deadline. So I worked deep into the night a couple nights this week to do some final tweaks and figure out techie things like re-directing domain names and such and conferred with Nat Gertler, the blogger behind Aaugh.com, who provided lots of insight and helpful commentary and promised myself, like Aragorn at the Gates of Mordor, that there might come a day when I blow a self-imposed deadline, but this would not be that day! So yesterday, I sent Nat the link, everything worked and he announced the page on his Aaugh Blog and the site is live Here's the link: https://www.peanutsfirsteditions.com/ It is still a work in progress, I do intend to add some more pictures and documentation of the later Rinehart books and the hardcover books on the introduction page, but I was not gonna let that stop me from getting the checklist posted, which is the meat and potatoes of the project. If any of you like this kind of stuff and want to collect it, I hope the site proves useful and at least somewhat clear in the method of presentation. The first printings of the first three books are rare. It was and still is quite startling to me how much confusion there is in the marketplace about what constitutes first printings of the first editions. Even the Schulz Museum, who I consulted on the project, had no scholarship on the early editions of the publishing empire that Peanuts became. I hope this site provides some navigation for collectors to find their way a bit in the sea of printings spawned from humble beginnings back in 1952 AJD, BanjerD, Readcomix and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
