I remember picking up on reading "Peanuts" By Charles M. Schulze and reading my very first baseball comic on Peanuts.

That's when I really was into heavy reading into Charlie Brown.
Besides other famous cartoon strips.
I got a kick out of Snoopy being dressed up at one point, being Batcatcher behind that mask.
