awesome. I've been wanting to buy the Schultz books -- its an amazing project -- but it seems like a huge commitment, and I'm guessing there will, eventually, be a boxed set.
I'm far more concerned about whatever it is that Linus is doing in the 1959/01/31 strip than Schroeder not liking girls, however.
i find the anachronistic thinking of the writer amusing. "the dirty-minded reader of later decades" as if in earlier decades people didn't think like that, and "not liking girls was of course, back then, simply an innocent statement of little boys' pre-sexuality" as though that's no longer a valid usage or as if that phrase wasn't used to denote homosexual men "back then".
Although I generally like to take the "homosexual subtext" opinion because it's more fun.
Absolutely, but let's investigate less well known couplings. The relationship between Grady and Fred on Sanford & Son? Lotta smothered passion there. How you like one cross your lip, indeed.
I could swear I saw the "Beethoven liked girls" strip before...maybe in another collection.
Yeah, I've seen those before, plus the one of Snoopy rolling off his doghouse.
There is a disturbing one in the first volume, I think, where Snoopy is being chased by a dogcatcher and he visualizes himself in convicts stripes strapped in an electric chair.
They're great books, I've been buying them, although I'll stop before Snoopy's brother Spike shows up.
