TIL: Charlie Brown briefly had a pet parrot named JOCKO. I cannot find mention of JOCKO in any of the Peanuts encyclopediæ, or anywhere else for that matter.
Charlie Brown’s Pet Parrot Jocko
This strip was not actually penned by Charles Schulz, but that does not make it an outright counterfeit. Schulz supervised artwork and production of a series of books drawn by Peanuts draw-alike artists. These 4 frames are from one of those books. From the Charles M. Schulz Museum website:
Some fans may be familiar with the series of comic books done from 1952 to 1964, published by Dell and other comic book publishers. Jim Sasseville, followed by Dale Hale and then briefly Anthony Pocrnich all drew the Peanuts art for these comics in consultation with Sparky.
