A Valentine for Charlie Brown #[nn]

Few things capture the bittersweet ache of Valentine's Day quite like Charlie Brown slumped against an oversized lacy heart, his trademark frown firmly in place and a quiet "sigh" drifting from a speech bubble beside him. Charles M. Schulz's cover art distills everything lovably melancholy about the round-headed kid — all that hopeful longing wrapped in a pink-and-red package. This 2015 Fantagraphics collection is a warm, gently funny treat for anyone who has ever waited just a little too long by the mailbox.
