These strips were inspired by Leonard Bernstein’s “Young Peoples’ Concerts” that used to be televised. Schulz said that whenever the camera panned over the audience, each and every one of those kids looked as though they wished they were somewhere else. Lesson to be learned: if you want to get kids interested in classical music, don’t drag them to concerts like this. Show them Bugs Bunny cartoons!!!
