Heartbreak in Peanuts

Exhibition Website

May 20 2017 - Aug 13 2017

Mattatuck Museum

Waterbury, CT

This exhibition features 50 high quality digital reproductions of original Peanuts comic strips which focus on narratives of lost love. These one-sided love stories include Sally and her “Sweet Babboo,” Snoopy left standing at the altar, Lucy throwing Schroeder’s piano in the sewer, and Charlie Brown’s mission to meet the Little Red-Haired Girl. 

Visitors can practice the lost art of letter writing by making their own valentine to send to Charlie Brown or practice penning a love poem.
