Have It Your Way, Charlie Brown

From 1971 to 1986, Crest Books published seven issues of Have It Your Way, Charlie Brown, a compact, activity-driven spin on Charles M. Schulz’s beloved Peanuts universe. Tied to the fast-food chain Burger King, each issue blended classic Schulz comic strips with puzzles, mazes, and games, encouraging young readers to interact with the characters beyond the Sunday funnies. The series is a charming artifact of its era, showcasing Schulz’s signature linework and wit in a promotional format that brought Snoopy, Lucy, and the gang directly into the hands of kids at the counter.
