The Nutz family is definitely not the Cleavers, the Waltons or the Bradys. But you'll undoubtedly recognize them anyway. Most likely, they're a lot like the family you grew up in... where the battle for the last chicken leg is comparable to the Battle of Bull Run, sibling rivalry is putting it mildly, and family values usually refers to a coupon book. Soup to Nutz by Rick Stromoski stars hard-working Roy Nutz, his loving wife Pat, and their battling brood - sons Roy-boy and Andrew, daughter Babs and rambunctious dog Rosco.
Stromoski is the seventh in a family of 12 children. Growing up in such a large family has given him an especially developed sense of humor that he has expressed through drawing from the moment he could pick up a pencil. A self-taught cartoonist and humorous illustrator, his work has appeared in national magazines, children's and humor books, newspapers, licensed products, national advertising and network television. Stromoski's greeting cards have become best-sellers for several major companies. He has won four Louie Awards for outstanding greeting card design. He has been nominated for his illustration work by the National Cartoonists Society 12 times and was awarded the Reuben division award for best greeting cards in 1995 and 1998, and for magazine gag cartoons in 1999. An NCS board member since 1997, he was elected president in 2005.

And everybody referred to him as, and called him, Charlie Brown. Never just his first name, but his full name. If there was another kid in the strip also named Charlie, then it would be justified. But there wasn’t another Charlie.

Did they use the horn sound for parents too? I mostly remember teachers. And not until about the 5th special maybe. In A CHARLIE BROWN CHRISTMAS, Lucy calls him ‘Charlie’ once. Eventually his sister Sally stopped calling him Charlie Brown and addressed him as ‘Big Brother.’

You’d think they would have bought him a different sweater.

I often wonder about the Peanuts gang’s parents-apart from the weird voices. Shouldn’t Charlie Brown’s parents reported to the authorities when their son came home from trick-or-treating with a sack full of rocks? And how about a little girl Lucy, going outside at 4 a.. to bring her little brother home after he sat up in a cold pumpkin patch awaiting the Great Pumpkin? What’s wrong with those parents?
