reading splinters finally made me listen to youre a good man Charlie Brown and omg?? this musical!! im so obsessed and so happy that you might do a spin-off about the rehearsals. I know Nikolai is Snoopy plus a few others that you've mentioned in the fic, but are you able to confirm the rest of the cast?
EEEEEEEEEEE im glad you listened to it! :D listen yagmcb is so silly and i could talk about it for HOURS because like. there's so much to take in. (also im beyond curious about whether you listened to the original or if you listened to the revival; both are fantastic, though the revival has a few changes and additions!)
regarding the cast for yagmcb in the fic, the show actually has a very small cast! i based it both off my research and also when i did the show myself. the named characters are actually very small in the show-- there's only a few, plus the ensemble! depending on the production/director, they might add in named characters/scenes (i know my director did). also, originally, sally wasn't a character-- her role was instead peppermint patty's. they changed it later on (and ofc then kristen chenowith the legend played her which was iconic af), but--
sorry. got sidetracked LMAO
ANYWHO! Here's the castlist!
Charlie Brown - Ace
Lucy Van Pelt - Lucy Montgomery
Linus Van Pelt - Karma
Patty - Tanizaki Naomi
Schroeder - Nathaniel Hawthorne
Snoopy - Nikolai Gogol
the director for the production at yokohama high elected not to have an ensemble considering the wild cast above. it was probably the best decision he could make, plus not abnormal. (iirc i made bram stoker the director but dont fact check me on that. in fact there is no way to fact check that SHDFKGHSDKJGHDS)
the crew includes Poe, who is a student director, Margaret Mitchell, Lovecraft(? i wrote that a while ago) and more though i cant rm who rn
again, glad you listened to the musical! :D its literally so fun and so silly and charlie brown literally is just a pathetic little guy the whole time

What's a song that you're always glad to hear but you've never owned or dug deeper into? For me, that's probably Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." It's perfect: that opening riff on the synth-y thing, the steady drum beat with perfect snare fills, and the horns. The HORNS. The brass section three separate iconic riffs in this song. (Don't believe me? To prove my point, I recorded this very low-effort clip of me impersonating three different horn riffs.) Okay. So then why haven't I listened to more Stevie Wonder? Instead I've just relied on the radio to occasionally play "I Just Called To Say I Love You" at me. Even better question, I subscribe to a streaming service: why haven't I ever played Talking Book, the 1972 album that spawned this perfect song? I guess I've just never had Spotify open and thought about "Superstition" at the same time. And the loss is all mine. The New York Times just published a look back at this album on its 50 year anniversary which details why it's not just a great album, but also why it is such an important one. You'll learn about how this album was on the forefront of synthesizers, utilizing an insane machine named TONTO (retronymed to mean The Original New Timbral Orchestra) and you'll also learn that synth-y thing I was talking about earlier is called a clavinet (It's from the 1940s and it's both electronic and uses strings. It's crazy.). So here's where I'm at: if you know "Talking Book," you've gotta read this article. If you don't know this album, you're wasting precious moments of your life. It's really, really good and it sounds like it was recorded yesterday. Get on this. Talking Book

The blankets in our house have slowly been thrown away for various reasons over the years until only one has remained. Then that one was adopted by the cat and you can't use a cat blanket. So after years of not having a blanket to throw over my legs on the couch, I once again have a warm flannel blanket from The Vermont Country Store and I forgot how good life could be. Just call me Linus Van Pelt because I'm a blanket guy now and I'm not going back. The link below will take you to my particular blanket, but let's not overthink this: The thesis is a simple one. Get a blanket this winter.

TV / Movie Costumes - Peanuts Lucy Girls Costume
Theme Halloween Costumes
Peanuts Costumes
Oh, Brother! Quick! The school’s big Halloween party is just around the corner, and your girl has been anticipating it for months! The trouble is, her pop-up psychiatric booth on the playground has been so swamped lately, she hasn’t had time to figure out a costume. That’s a unique problem; we don’t hear of that one too much. But wait…a psych booth, you say? As in, a pop-up place for her friends to get advice and help? Hmmm…we may have an idea for her Halloween woes! Lucy van Pelt runs a similar operation in the Peanuts universe. She’s also smart, in charge, and sassy, like your girl! She loves a good prank, she thinks outside the box, and she doesn’t let anyone (but Snoopy) get the best of her. We think this Peanuts Girl’s Lucy Costume is the perfect fit for your girl’s costume party. The best part is, she can rally her friends and make it a Peanuts group theme, including a Charlie, Linus, Snoopy, and…we bet there’s someone she’d just love to see dressed up as Schroeder (wink, wink)! Product Details This costume is simple to throw together at the last minute because it includes everything she needs (besides the gang of friends and signature ‘tude). It comes with Lucy’s iconic black flipped locks (in wig form), her blue, puff-sleeve dress, and shoe covers that turn your kiddo’s kicks into Lucy’s signature saddle shoes. The dress’ silhouette and material give it fun, cartoonish flair. And she’ll look perfect behind her pop-up psychiatry stand—just like Lucy! Girl Boss in Training We love your girl’s entrepreneurial spirit and go-getter attitude (even if she did slip up on Halloween prep a bit). She seems like she has the personality to be a real leader and boss someday. And if anyone knows about being the boss, it’s Lucy!

As Usual, These Are Great Books! I just received this set yesterday and it is just as sturdy as the others. I can't believe my collection is almost complete. This is a great collection for all fans of the strip and I, for one, am proud to own them. Beautifully done as always. Go to Amazon
Rerun takes the lead Charles M. Schulz goes out the way he came in--with solid characters, quirky humor, and a wry social commentary. After several decades of relegating Rerun Van Pelt, younger brother of Lucy and Linus, to the back seat of their mother's bicycle, Schulz in the last two or three years started to develop the character into one of the shrewdest and funniest of the entire cast. Rerun questions everything, including long-standing traditions such as his brother Linus' blanket habit and the fact that of all of the kids in the neighborhood, Charlie Brown is the only one with a dog. Rerun develops a strong affinity for Snoopy and despite the fact that his mother won't let him have a dog of his own, a true camaraderie arises between Rerun and Snoopy. This serves to make Snoopy more dog-like and it makes Rerun very sympathetic, which has not always been the case with other members of his family. But this book is about much more than Rerun. Every major character who was current with the cast at the time is represented here--Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Peppermint Patty, Marcie, Franklin, Snoopy, and Woodstock. We even get the final chapter in the Football saga--where Lucy tries one last time to pull the ball away when Charlie Brown is about to kick it--but this time around, there is a plot twist that may surprise the reader. The book also includes the final Sunday and the final daily strips that closed out the run of Peanuts, with the author's farewell. Unfortunately, there appears to have been a printer's error with the Sunday finale strip, because most of the images are missing and there is a lot of blank space. Hopefully future editions will rectify this error. The complete last Sunday strip can be seen correctly rendered on the last page of the book "Peanuts 2000." Go to Amazon
Superb - But we Need a Slipcase for the Next and Final Volume Too! Another superb edition, in a wonderful slipcase! Schulz was able to maintain his quality right through his later years. Go to Amazon
a must have, plain and simple. A Great collection, I have all the books from the 1950s to 1990 and eagerly am awaiting the rest of the collection. (last strip came in 2000). You really can't go wrong with Peanuts, intelligent and fun humor it will simultaneously take you back to your own childhood and take you deeper into the experiences of Schulz's life. These characters are icons, and the humor/art is a template that many others have tried to emulate and only a few can pull off. Snoopy could have easily been considered "jumping the shark" in the hands of a lesser cartoonist, but in Schulz's hands its a stroke of genius. A bit sad at times, but always clever, anyone who enjoys comic strips and wants to make life a little better needs to own these books. They have definitely been a bright spot in my life. and I look forward to passing them down to my own kids some day....a great way to do something as a family. Either by sharing the books or reading them aloud, the characters jump off the page, and the writing will have you looking deeper into your own psyche and laughing at the same time. Go to Amazon
The size is perfect for kids Five Stars Five Stars THE COMPLETE PEANUTS Vol. 20, Essential! It is all smiles and happiness - well Five Stars A Must For A Collector Five Stars Five Stars Love the Peanuts comics!

"Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead" show #629
Left Coast Theatre Company has closed up their production of their first full-length play, Bert V. Royal’s Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead. Chris Maltby’s well-paced direction of Mr. Royal’s self-proclaimed “unauthorized parody” of Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts gang paid homage to those loveable blockheads. However, even with Mr. Maltby’s excellent use of Finn Ware’s big, bright, and beautifully-painted set, he was unable to balance the script’s unfocused “parodying” of the Peanuts (none of whom are called by their actual Schulz-given name) and embedded commentary regarding teen suicide, bulimia, underage drinking and sex, school shootings, homosexuality/homophobia, bullying, and stereotyping. What Mr. Maltby’s efforts accomplished was setting up a mostly talented cast to portray characterizations of what teenagers are like in today’s high schools, but none which actually allowed for Mr. Royal’s script (which is more of an attempted spoof rather than parody) to land the emotional tugging at the heart that the ending letter from Pen Pal should have.
The issue with Mr. Royal’s script is that it is clearly a play of its time, which was only 13 years ago. School shootings were rampant then, inspiring discussions, laws, and many forms of art (songs, poems, books, and plays) to take place in honor of those who were victims and families of victims, to protect future generations, and to bring to light the dangers of bullying/hazing/other forms of driving a student to bring a weapon to school with the intent to harm. To put an issue with such weight and seriousness in the hands of the comparable character of Schroeder (known as Beethoven in Dog Sees God…) makes it seem as if only young, bullied gay boys are the ones responsible for school shootings. The character isn’t written strongly enough to take on this burden, and the play isn’t built in a way to responsibly handle the tragedy of school shootings. The attempt at the parody belittles those who suffered at Little Rock, Virginia Tech, and the dozens of other schools who have since witnessed violence in their halls, therefore weakening Mr. Royal’s attempt at striking a chord with the audience. There is nothing that the best of direction or talent of cast can do to combat the battle between laughs and tears that Mr. Royal’s script tries to force from its audiences.
That being said, there are certainly moments that work, and work well, most of which Mr. Maltby and cast have found. Michael Conner (CB) did a fine job leading the Gang and carrying the show’s monologues and majority of scene work. His reactions were instant, his lines flowed naturally, and he grew stronger and stronger as the bubbling gay undertones of his demeanor rose until he finally succumbed to his hidden desire. It’s the break in the character’s demeanor that Mr. Conner showed with ease and well-developed nuance. Val Garrahan did a great job as CB’s Sister, portraying the overly dramatic high school theatre nerd. However, Miss Garrahan had the near-impossible task of being the most liberally-minded, exploratory character (Wiccan is her current religion of choice during the week the play takes place) but then unleashes several homophobic slurs about CB post-Beethoven party kiss. It’s a non-sensical break in CB’s Sister’s demeanor that attempts to justify itself by reverting back to mentioning her crush on Beethoven, but still doesn’t land as a progressive direction for the character to go.
Geoffrey Malveaux’s performance as Matt (comparable to Pig Pen from the Schulz strips) was wonderful, embodying the typical overcompensating jock with his bro-ish tone and casual physicality flipped instantly to a brooding anger for all things homosexual and objects ridden with germs. Ryan Engstrom delivered a flawless performance as Beethoven, the newly-outed pianist. Every moment, reaction, and line came from a deep place of intent and motivation. Mr. Engstrom found the quirkiness in Beethoven’s demeanor as being the smartest in the room while still being physically timid. He delivered the comedic lines with pinpoint timing, and earned the audience’s sympathy, and for some, empathy, with his effortless inflection of what it’s like to be bullied so much and so brutally for simply being gay.
Ryan Whitlock and Isabel Siragusa delivered memorable performances as the two dimwits of the group, Van (the Linus character) and Tricia (the Peppermint Patty character), respectively. Both found their time to shine when they became the source of wisdom for a brief revelation about the others’ behavior. Madison Worthington was outstanding as Marcy, Tricia’s loyal friend. Her characterization as the popular genius had layers that were seen every time Miss Worthington entered the scene; both she and Miss Siragusa shared an excellent connection as “besties” with compelling chemistry. In the one scene she had, Ellen Durphy was a standout as Van’s Sister (yes, Lucy Van Pelt would be the correct guess) in her one-on-one session with CB in the psyche hospital. This is one of the strongest written scenes, with Van’s Sister having the iconic “Doctor is in; 5 cents, please” being set in a psyche hospital due to her newly-developed case of pyromania. Miss Durphy led an excellent scene opposite Mr. Conner as the doctor/patient roles switched several times through the course of the dialogue.
Dressing this unified body of high school blockheads was Finn Ware, whose extremely clever costume design was consistently a joy to see on the animated cast. Complimenting Mr. Ware’s design was the intelligent use of matching props, especially when Tricia and Marcy’s lunchtime bottles are concerned. All this culminated in a good production of a very unbalanced play. Overcompensation is more the through line rather than confession as regards to the characters dealing with their internal issues, but it doesn’t stop there. The very content and structure of the play seems to be an overcompensation for what Mr. Royal is trying to communicate through his lines. The way Mr. Royal develops his characters in Dog Sees God… makes the cast only feed into the very stereotype they are trying to overcome, the stereotype that labels them as an entity rather than a person, and not necessarily in comedic fashion. Though there is some parody in it, I left the theatre wondering: how does this play better serve the audience? A few laughs because of the Schulz references, and maybe a clever line or two cannot save what is simply a play that is a spoof trying to convey a very serious message.

This was a pretty good volume Peanuts overall is pretty funny. There are some comic strips that are just like mini stories but not that funny. I personally like the continuing ones where the storyline lasts more than one comic strip. I like how Charles Shultz introduced the characters one by one. Patty, Shermy, Violet, and of course, Charlie Brown were always there, but Lucy and Linus were introduced in the first volume, Pig-Pen and Charlotte Brawn in the second volume, and so on. That’s my review. Go to Amazon
A Masterwork Continues In this second volume of the Peanuts collection, we continue to see Schulz's world as it evolved towards what became its glory years (late 1950s to late 1960s). Charlie Brown is still a smart aleck, but gradually his professional victimhood is taking form. Lucy is still sweet and babyish at the beginning of this volume, but by the end she is definitely moving towards her loud mouth, abrasive, loveable self. Snoopy is becoming less doggy and more human (we get to imagine the inside of his doghouse for the first time), and Linus is showing signs of genius even though he can't speak yet. We also see some favorite characters for the first time, noteably Pig Pen, and get to see some failed experiments, such as Charlotte Braun, a loud mouth who moved into the neighborhood for awhile but obviously didn't work out. Go to Amazon
Old Peanuts are great, I love the simple Old Peanuts are great, I love the simple, abstracted and iconic artwork and the stories are lighthearted and fun. So instead of checking Facebook for the 50th time today, read a couple strips and decompress just a little. Go to Amazon
Wonderful chronicles into the history of Peanuts! Growing up, I saw the introduction of Rerun to the Van Pelt family. Being able to go back, and see the introduction of Linus, Pigpen and Charlotte was very cool. Lucy begging Charlie Brown to make her a sandwich. Linus blowing up square balloons before he could walk. The only time I can recall Pigpen without dirt is in this volume! Go to Amazon
Magnificent II It is such a pleasure to read through these early Peanuts comic strips. There are so many things to discover: the first appearance of Linus, Lucy as a champion golfer, the brief first appearance of the security blanket. Go to Amazon
Five Stars Love these early peanuts strips! Snoopy was so cute as a puppy! Go to Amazon
The Complete Peanuts series is the best. These compendium books are wonderful. The Complete Peanuts rules, particularly since it's possible to read every bit of Peanuts cartoons from the very beginning to Charles Schultz' passing in order. Really excellent stuff. Go to Amazon
Five Stars The Complete Peanuts comics are great. Go to Amazon
smart, amusing and entertaining Five Stars Pretty sure he liked it Beautiful volume Five Stars Five Stars My girls love reading through all these strips Five Stars
