Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking (Peanuts Seasonal

Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking (Peanuts Seasonal Collection)

The two rarely seen Peanuts "extras," created by Schulzâ€•a series of vignettes, and "The Christmas Story"â€•are back, in a popular stocking stuffer format.
During his fifty-year career, ninety-nine percent of Charles Schulzâ€™s creative energies went into the daily Peanuts comic strip. But once in a while he would create a special something else on the side, and this adorable little package collects two of his best â€œextrasâ€ from the 1960s: two Christmas-themed stories written and drawn for national magazines. Created in 1963 (two years before the Charlie Brown Christmas TV special) as a supplement for Good Housekeeping magazine, â€œCharlie Brownâ€™s Christmas Stockingâ€ comprises 15 original captioned vignettes featuring the entire Peanuts cast of the time â€• Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Frieda, Violet, Shermy, and Sally â€• each with a joke or reflection about the season. â€œThe Christmas Storyâ€ is an original tale created for Womanâ€™s Day in 1968, this one focusing just on Snoopy and the Van Pelt siblings, with Lucy and Linus each explaining the meaning of the holiday to Snoopy. â€œIâ€™m going to have to be careful,â€ Snoopy reflects at the end of the story, resting on his doghouse next to his bone-decorated tree; â€œall this theology could ruin my Christmas.â€ The book also includes notes on the provenance of the stories and a pocket-sized biography of Schulz. A perfect gift item for the season! Yes
