'Menschenskinder' #FotoVorschlag

Eine Bande von Kindern plus ein Hund und ein Vogel, die mich mich fast mein ganzes Leben begleitet und erheitert haben und dabei, im Gegensatz zu mir, nicht älter geworden sind.

Die #Peanuts:
Charlie Brown (mein Bruder im Geiste), Lucy, Linus, Sally, Schröder, Peppermint Patty, Franklin, Marcie, Pig Pen, Violet, Rerun, Frieda und natürlich Snoopy und Woodstock.

O Tannenbaum – Vince Guaraldi Trio

A jazz version of an old song from an album called A Charlie Brown Christmas may not seem a very promising concept but I like it, so there. The original lyrics of O Tannenbaum don’t refer to Christmas at all, incidentally, but it has become a Christmas standard. This version is by the Vince Guaraldi Trio and it was recorded 60 years ago in 1965. Vince Guaraldi was a fine jazz pianist who had an interesting solo career as well as playing with bands led by Woody Herman and Carl Tjader, among others. He is best remembered, however, for composing the music that went with TV adaptations of the Peanuts cartoons written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz of which this is a nice example.

It is now 55 years since Charles M. Schulz sent this response letter to the then 10 year old Joel Lipton.

"I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities."

I was overjoyed to finally find this at my local shop this morning! As a massive life-long Peanuts fan, I had to have it, as it was the only Charlie Brown record I was missing.

Everything I read on the hype sticker only made me want to buy it more.

“Remastered from original analog session reels”, “cut at 45 rpm by Kevin Gray” and “includes unreleased alternate takes”?
Yes please.

Truly the definitive pressing of this.
It sounds friggin amazing.

I have a big soft spot in my heart for anything related to the 'Peanuts' comic strip, and for Charles M. Schulz as a creator, so I was happy I got a chance to read "Manga Biographies: Charles M. Schulz - The Creator of Snoopy and Peanuts" by Yuzuru Kuki, and ended up finishing it in a single afternoon. The book starts with a little introductory info on Schulz and the 'Peanuts' characters before beginning to tell his story as a shy, socially anxious kid who grew up loving reading and drawing comics, and who also had a special bond with his childhood dog Spike.

It pretty much covers Schulz's entire life, from his early childhood experiences and him serving in WWII, to achieving his dream of becoming a cartoonist, his work process, his inspirations, his divorce, how he found love again at 50, and his special connection with his fans. There's also lots of interesting, and often touching, trivia included, like Snoopy and Charlie Brown's historical ties to the Apollo 11 moon landing, and the fact that 'Snoopy' is the name that his mum suggested they give their next dog, before she died.

Big thank you to UDON Entertainment for giving me a review copy.

Too much sadness, too much terror;

There is a reason my dog is named “Linus” — “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” is one of the most beautiful examples of Linus Van Pelt being an amazing philosopher from the [IMO] #Spinoza school.

Happy Birthday, Charlie Brown!

Charlie Brown and the "Peanuts" turn 75 today

#OTD #HappyBirthday #CharlieBrown #ComicStrip #Cartoon #GoodGrief #CharlesMSchulz

Today marks 75 years since the publication of the first 'Peanuts' comic strip back in October of 1950. And decades later, the stories of Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the gang remain as relatable and as popular as ever, because beyond the surface, there is a characteristic sincerity in Charles M. Schulz's work that makes those comics way more than the cute little stories of a boy, his dog, and his friends.

The Peanuts comic strips manage to combine humour and melancholy, often striking a balance between the whimsical and the philosophical, speaking about sadness and optimism, without ever getting overly heavy or preachy.
