Mark's Reviews > Who Was That Dog I Saw You With, Charlie Brown?

Book 36 of the Coronet series, this is taken from “You’re You, Charlie Brown vol 1” and was published in 1973, featuring strips from 1967 through to 1968. Again, earlier in the run than I’d normally read, so Woodstock only appears once (in a terrific “Be kind to animals” strip), but there was plenty of good stuff here. My highlights include Snoopy’s happy dance in snow, saying “hi” to Dad, Beagles are French - “Oui”, Lucy’s crab-in, Valentines woes (and a lot about the red-headed girl), Snoopy at Augusta, Snoopy and Linus’ blanket, the baseball team (including Snoopy as manager, with a fresh way to reprimand people). Almost completely focussed on Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus and Snoopy, with cameo’s from Sally and Schroeder, this is great fun, with some laugh out loud jokes and a strong thread of melancholy running through the whole book, which was wonderful. Great fun, this is a terrific read and a much needed blast of nostalgia, which I recommend wholeheartedly.
