The World According to Sally

Sally Brown, Charlie Brown’s little sister, has a sweet innocent side, but also a more cynical view of life than most of the other characters in the Peanuts Gang. A favorite phrase of hers is, “Who cares?” and the answer is: we do! Sally is quick to offer her unedited opinions, establish her privileges and pursue new possibilities. Her unrequited love for Linus is sweet rather than sad and many readers can relate to her indifference to playing sports. When she is thwarted by math, or mangles the English language in front of her classmates, she often ends up telling her frustrations to the beloved school building. The many moods of Sally Brown are revealed through this display of original strips.
