I grew up with Peanuts and read it in the papers and paperbacks, also saw the various movies that came out in the 1970s. Everyday as a kid I'd read the strip in the Stars & Stripes and eagerly awaited the weekend color 'Funnies' insert. It isn't an exaggeration to say that Peanuts helped me to read and write better in grade school.
I always liked Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty sitting under a tree, or such like, discussing things like growing up or fathers or things like that. The one I always liked was Charlie Brown saying to Patty that security meant sleeping in the back seat of your parents car. Schulz could get to the core of the human condition in just a few words and both kids and adults would get the point.
