What is it about?
Lucy van Pelt decides to open an outdoor psychiatric counseling booth, advertising herself as an experienced doctor. For just five cents, she offers her services to any passerby, although her most regular client is the insecure Charlie Brown. Throughout these pages, the reader attends sessions where Lucy diagnoses, advises, and often dismantles her patients' hopes with her characteristic bluntness. Between consultations, interactions with Snoopy, Linus, and the rest of the characters also slip in, creating a choral portrait of the Peanuts universe. The work compiles strips where the humor arises from the contradiction between Lucy's supposed authority and her almost always questionable advice.
