    He was the great, great, great, great grandfather of an undercover vice cop in Miami.

    You mean the tactical nuclear weapons system?

    In the absence of the original date, we might guess this came after the fad cooled off. “Disneyland” only aired three hour-long episodes of Davy Crockett, then two more the following season framed as “tall tales” to get around his death at the Alamo. For whatever reason Walt Disney made no more Crocketts, instead casting Fess Parker in movies like “Old Yeller”. Maybe he sensed Crockettmania was too hot to last. Or maybe he was already bristling at ABC’s demand for more and more westerns. In any case Crockett receded from flavor of the month to one more familiar figure in Disney products (comics, records, Frontierland, etc.).

    Whatever the cause, Schulz may have noticed nobody was wearing coonskin caps any more and let Charlie Brown express his curiosity.

    I remember seeing this comic in the paperback reprints and thinking it was kind of random. After seeing this after last year’s arc of crockett-mania, it makes more sense.

    according to one of the episodes on the history channel, Davy was the last man standing at the Alamo, but gave Santa Ana a Masonic sign and was allowed to walk free (they also discovered land deed signed by him in 1842)

    I recall as a 4 year old kid in 1955-56 being a huge Davy Crockett fan (even was an “official member” of the Davy Crockett Fan Club). Not understanding that he died at the Alamo I watched the episode of him there with the ending of him swinging his rifle at the Mexicans attacking as it faded to the end. I assumed he just beat them all to death and won. Was devastating to learn later that the defenders ALL died.

    I was too young to see the Davy Crocket craze, or maybe it didn’t hit Canada. It’s interesting to see his story here.

    There was a record store in my neighborhood and I vividly remember the proprietor putting a speaker outside his shop and playing “The Ballad of Davy Crockett” nonstop for weeks. EVERYONE in my neighborhood must have known all the words by heart.

    I suspect that this strip was drawn BEFORE John Wayne’s 1960 film version of “The Alamo.”
