This was, after all, the era when Nat King Cole, Sammy Davis Jr., Louis Armstrong and other black entertainers were major celebrities yet were still treated as second-class citizens; for instance, they often performed at venues that wouldn't have admitted them as audience members. It's a point that wouldn't have been lost on readers at this time... and later "Peanuts" strips would contain subtle commentary on social issues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38625371245795065.post-22184291415912341392010-08-29T16:08:35.276-04:002010-08-29T16:08:35.276-04:00Ah, true, I mentioned the chocolate thing before y...Ah, true, I mentioned the chocolate thing before yeah.
