Charlie Brown: POW!: A Peanuts Collection -- Charles M. Schulz

<p>Put me in, Coach <br /> <br /> The <em>Peanuts</em> gang is ready to play ball in this collection of baseball-themed cartoons. Some of the most popular <em>Peanuts</em> moments happen on the field and they're gathered here for a season full of enjoyment. As manager of the endlessly losing team, Charlie Brown soldiers on to keep his team's spirits up, while being constantly blown off the pitching mound in a clothes-exploding fashion. It doesn't help that his catcher is a musician by nature or that his shortstop is a dog. Not to mention that center-fielder Lucy can't keep her mouth shut long enough to know what's going on in the game Put them all together and you get a game plan for laughs <br /> <br /> First published in 1950, the classic <em>Peanuts</em> strip now appears in more than 2,200 newspapers in 75 countries in 25 languages. Phrases such as "security blanket" and "good grief," which originated in the <em>Peanuts </em>world, are now part of the global vernacular, and images of Charles Schulz's classic characters---Charlie Brown kicking the football, Lucy leaning over Schroeder's piano---are now universally recognized.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Charles M.
