Happiness is a Warm Puppy: The Deluxe Edition

Product Information

Paul Pioneer Press; he first used the name Charlie Brown for a character there, although he applied the name in four gags to three different boys and one buried in sand. Peanuts, featuring good ol' Charlie Brown, is one of the most venerated comics of our generation, and possibly all time.

From 1956 to 1965 he contributed a single-panel strip ("Young Pillars") featuring teenagers to Youth, a publication associated with the Church of God. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts—and that was what sold. In two thousand years, when our descendants (or the cockroach people) who are historians and archaeologists dig up the ruins of our mad, mad, mad, mad world, and find Happiness is A Warm Puppy, they will ponder our values and ideals, mores and morals. Tell your friends how much they mean to you with this customizable gift book, which pairs 46 endearing fill-in-the-blank prompts with humorous illustrations of the Peanuts gang.

I spotted this on my shelves and decided to give it another peruse, just to remind myself what Charlie Brown regarded happiness as being and how it compared to my view! Dust jacket is Very Good with vertical lines of wear running parallel to the spine on the front and back covers. Schulz would have been an independent contractor for the syndicate, unheard of in the 1940s, but the deal fell through.

Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. I was 8 or 9 years old and a relative had recently been at a party given for Charles Schulz in honor of this book's publication, and all of the attendees received the book, and I was given it as a gift. It is one of the most watched and best loved television shows in history and winner of an Emmy and a Peabody.But on the receiving end of happiness he does not look quite as happy when Lucy practises the title, 'Happiness is a warm puppy' as she gives Peanuts a cuddle. But for a moment, the reader is asked to think about what makes them happy, and that's a pretty cool thing. Much of the 1950s and 1960s sensibility of Schulz's daily comic strip is distilled down into single-panel homilies that capture the essence of the basic message he was trying to impart.

Is it the mansion on the hill, the Cadillac in the driveway, the two car garage, the latest technological devices? His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).The key is to grab on to those moments and those things and understand the satisfaction of experiencing them instead of allowing yourself to believe that satisfaction is something you constantly have to be acquiring and working towards. Dog lover or not this Peanuts mug is a nice gift for all including yourself when you need to put your feet up.

In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks.I treasure my Peanuts comic strips as building blocks for my character, my humor, what I think about life and love, friendship and family.
