Has anyone mentioned "5"?  There was a kid with a crew-cut whose name was

telephone number.  I don't remember it.  5 has had a lot appearances;  he's
a common extra, even today.
    I remember when 5 was introduced, he explained that his dad had named him
and the whole family with numbers, to protest the rat race.  No, wait ...
Cahrlie Brown presumed, "To protest?" and 5 replied, "No, this is his way
of giving up."

    Is anyone willing to compile a list of all the books?  It would mean
keeping two separate lists:  a list of small paperbacks, which were always
"Selected cartoons from `Something' Vol I (or II)", and a list of those
larger books, from which the "selected cartoons" were taken.  An exmaple:
I have a paperback called "It's Show Time, Snoopy" which pictures Snoopy
and his hand puppets on his roof.  The cartoons are selected from "Speak
Softly and Carry a Beagle Vol II";  I also own the original hardback
"Speak Softly and Carry a Beagle".  Or is there already someone on
rec.arts.books with such a list?

It was a series of Sunday strips probably in the 60's. Apparently, she was
an old friend of CB's who moved out of the neighborhood. She was never in
the strip before then, as far as I know.

Snoopy was angry at her because when he was a little pup, she told him to
fetch a stick and when he came back with it, she was walking off with a
St. Bernard. He was telling this story in flashback to Charile Brown (I
don't have any idea how he was able to do this, but he did)

In any case, when Poochie comes to visit, she and CB are talking - CB has
one seemingly throwaway line in a panel - to wit: "You were the first one
who called me 'Charlie Brown'"

Kind of random. But I guess it was sort of an explanation of why everyone
refers to him by both first and last names (except for Peppermint Patty
("Chuck") and Marcie ("Charles"))

MAD Magazine uses mechanical (mass produced) lettering.  MAD also uses a 
unique system of square balloons that allow the reader to follow a conversation
between two people.  The balloons "interlock" and each persons' balloons are 
connected by "tunnels".

The answer I got from the syndicate is that there are two sizes/panel
arrangements of C&H available to subscribing newspapers:  the half-page
size, which is their recommended size for most papers, and the tiny size
you are seeing, which is intended for tabloids.  

Unfortunately, most regular papers are ordering the smaller-sized C&H.
There's nothing the syndicate itself can do about this.  I'm sure, though,
that they'd be pleased if you wrote to your paper and expressed your
preference for the half-page format.

1950s, used a "Letraset" device that did automatic lettering
instead of having somebody write the words in.  It didn't

Consequently, my comics are now up for sale.  I'll send anyone who's

most current Overstreet prices, discounted with the following table:

   Total List Price               Percent Discount
              $1-50                             30

Everything I've got                             60

So, if your bill is $125 according to Overstreet, It'll cost you:

           $125 * 0.6 = $75

If you're interested, send me a note and I'll forward you a list

Are you insane?  According to Wizard:

Deathlok Mini-Series   1	10.00
		       2	 8.00
 		       3	 7.00
		       4 	 6.00

The reprints are worth less than half that, and about the same price as the
first four issues of the regular series ($4, $3, $3, $2.75).  And I know that 
the Overstreet prices are less than that by far.  How in the name of God can you
expect to get 3X-5X Guide for these?
