About the series
Jim Sasseville wrote and drew this short-lived 1957–1958 Dell Comics series, which spun Fritzi Ritz out from the world of Peanuts. While the title character had her own adventures, the book also featured appearances by Charlie Brown and Lucy Van Pelt, bridging two comic strip sensibilities. It’s a curious, four-issue footnote in Peanuts history, showcasing Sasseville’s clean cartooning before the strip’s own comic-book presence fully took hold.
