Religion, psychiatry, education-indeed all the complexities of the modern world-seem more amusing than menacing when they are seen through the clear, uncompromising eyes of the comic-strip kids from Peanuts.

Sooner or later he was sure to wind up in South Viet Nam, and last week Cartoonist Mauldin was once more up to his ears in his natural element...
...Times plastered Mauldin's coverage all over the paper. In the heat of battle, the cartoonist put pen and sketching pad aside for more urgent assignments, but by week's end, he had delivered a batch of drawings from Up Front...
