152: Charles Schulz's Favorite Cartoonist Percy Crosby

Charles Schulz inspired countless cartoonists. But who inspired him? One was Percy Crosby who drew the comic "Skippy" which in its day was as popular as "Peanuts" would be decades later. In episode 152, we take a look at Skippy and the tumultuous life of Percy Crosby. Chocolate and peanut butter might be two great tastes that taste great together, but Crosby and the Skippy peanut butter brand...not so much. Listen to find out why.
