Frank Wing’s crude, powerful and offtime cruel slice-o’-life comic Yesterdays originated in the Minneapolis Journal about 1910. The following selections are from the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix 1929-1930. Charles ‘Sparky Schulz’ studied cartooning with Wing
This story/arc is a great commentary on how we often hold ourselves back. Usually, Charlie brown is so self conscious and unsure of himself that he subconsciously sabotages his social interactions. As the anonymous Mr sack he is free to be himself without fear of how others will see him, since they don’t.

Was Frank Wing an artistic influence on Mr. Schulz?

He seems to have accepted being called “Mr. Sack”.

I am enjoying this arc so much! I’m afraid I might be depressed when it all goes wrong! (it’s bound to go wrong at some point, isn’t it?)

Interesting. People like Charlie for who he is and not what he looks like. Nice lesson , Sparky.

I bet that they won’t like Charlie when the bag comes off.

Must be one of old Sparky’s childhood heroes.

The “sack” thing seems to be working for ole Charlie Brown. I may try it.

Charlie “Mr. Sack” Brown could have been the mystery guest on “What’s My Line?”

Very sly way to sneak a “Dad Joke” into a strip where we never see anyone’s father…

Mr. Sack his better liked than Gold Ol’ Charlie Brown. Naturally he’s going to screw things up by removing the sack.
