In anticipation of the first Peanuts full-length movie in thirty-five years, there have been a spate of articles dealing with the iconic comic strip drawn by Charles M. Shulz that began to appear in newspapers in October 1950. My attention was drawn in particular to Aaron R. Katz’ essay in Tablet, entitled “The Wisdom of Peanuts” ( http://www.tabletmag.com/jewish-life-and-religion/194546/twerski-charlie-brown ) in which he interviews R. Abraham Twerski, the well-known, prolific, deeply observant and knowledgeable psychiatrist and addiction specialist, who not only wrote a number of books mining psychological insights from Peanuts, but who, it turns out, had a personal relationship with Shulz until the animator’s death.
