Always Stick Up for the Underbird, a wonderful collection of cartoons from 1955 through 1957, offers all the joys of meeting the gang in the earliest days of the strip. Here, Lucy shows her rarely seen kinder and gentler side, insisting that everyone walk softly upon the earth so as not to wear it out-and that means no rope jumping and no sliding into home plate. Snoopy, meanwhile, aims to amaze when he shows off his incredible talent for doing imitations-from Mickey Mouse to Beethoven!
