...decade that has seen much of the fun leak out of the funnies, a Popsicleset Punchinello named Good Ol' Charlie Brown has endeared himself to millions of newspaper readers with a quietly wistful brand of humor that is both fresh and worldlywise.

Yet Cantrell, a $2,350-a-year clerk who had been living in the only place he could afford, will pay only $23 a month plus utilities, less rent than he paid for his shack.
