The Comics of Charles Schulz: The Good Grief of Modern Life

Published by University Press of Mississippi in 2017, The Comics of Charles Schulz: The Good Grief of Modern Life is a single-issue scholarly volume that examines the cultural and philosophical depth of Schulz’s Peanuts strip. Edited with contributions from multiple academics, this collection analyzes how Schulz’s work reflects the anxieties and absurdities of modern existence. It matters as a critical appreciation of a beloved comic, placing Schulz’s deceptively simple art within broader conversations about literature, psychology, and American life.
