Review: Peanuts Every Sunday, Vol. 1 (1951-1955)

Peanuts Every Sunday is a collection of Schulz’s Sunday strips in color. It’s an incredibly pleasant way to read the strips, especially on my new iPad, and I really enjoyed this volume. It’s got some early Peanuts funk, and less charm because I’d already seen many of the strips in the Complete collections, but still!

The Sunday strips are often the most memorable, for obvious reasons. Having more space means having more room for comedic maneuvers, more progression, more pay-off. If I had to list my favorite Peanuts strip so far, they would be almost exclusively Lucy-focused Sundays. Her early years as a spunky young child are comedic gold. “I’m frustrated and inhibited and nobody understands me” is my quote of the year. You simply don’t get this kind of punchline joy in the regular dailies.

You thought this post was about the added value of color for Peanuts Sunday strips, but really it’s about how Lucy Van Pelt is iconic and is the 50s MVP of the strip, even more than Charlie Brown or Snoopy. I’ve tricked you!

i found out about the slap stick from reading about commedia del'arte which i would recommend bc its a total brain blast. its kind of like... idk if youve experienced this but for me reading about vaudeville contextualizes all of hollywood as an industry in a really eye-opening way bc you see this whole lineage. and thats just one example for one industry, many such cases obvs. but like commedia del'arte is like legitimately the grandaddy of All Of It, its like THE fount from which all these different entertainment disciplines can trace their roots. its wild. did you know the term "pleased as punch" is more accurately transcribed as "pleased as Punch" bc Punch is a character from a folk-traditional archetypical british puppet show? which itself has its origins in you guessed it commedia del'arte. theres hundreds of tidbits like this one could cite. dont even get me started on the harlequin

YES reading abt the commedia was exactly how i came across this! (well kinda, i'm reading a bio of first ever clown joseph grimaldi and the author was describing one of the bits he was doing and it featured said stick) and it really is crazy how much of what we know today goes back to it! it's like a cultural entertainment funnel lmao. i've read a fair bit about the commedia and that's why it's wild to me i'd never come across the stick- the sources i'd been able to get my hands on were all like, hoity toity academic literature that very rarely delved into what the performances actually looked like. it was all about the cultural context of the plays and its characters, which is great! but i was shocked how hard it was to find anything telling me what the dang shows would actually look like, and now i'm just thinking of what other juicy deets i've missed out on. i've also had trouble finding literature abt Punch and Judy shows so i don't know much about them other than a vague awareness of the ties to the commedia, i love that that's where pleased as punch comes from! also please do get started on the harlequin i'm all fucking about the harlequin lay it on me baby

[timothyclare]

if i could go back in time, i would go back to the medieval days and bring with me vaccinations and the brightest neon fool's outfit i can get my hands on. then i would go taunt all the other fools with how much more colorful i am than them. i would hope for an enemies to lovers arc where a fool tries to seduce me for my chemical dye secrets but we fall in love instead and become the most colorful beautiful lover fools in all the land.

So don't normally post about myself

But Im always down to sprend more Trans-happiness ^_^

I got into a relationship recently, and it's truly the most in-sinc I've ever been with somebody. He makes me so happy and comfortable that I have been able to really enjoy and feel validated with every part of myself.

I can be a guy and cute. Anxious about things, or stupidly excited and nerd out.

We're going to a concert together soon and I'm reallyyyy excited!!!

Idk if I matched the posts assignment- maybe I just wanted to rant about my boyfriend :P

The world is scary right now. I think it would be nice if every trans person who encounters this post reblogs with something good that is going on in their life. It does not have to be related to being trans. It also doesn't have to stay in the tags.

I'll start. I'm starting testosterone soon! I already have my prescription for it, but I'm going to have a few more conversations with my parents before I start. I'm really excited! Every time I see myself in the mirror, I imagine the beginnings of a beard on my face, and I start beaming.
