The Complete Peanuts: 1971-1972

Charles M. Schulz

Peanuts is the most popular comic strip in the history of the world. Its characters - Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, and so many more - have become dearly loved icons for generation after generation. Now Charles Schulz’s classic, Peanuts, will be reprinted in its entirety for the first time.

In these beautifully produced editions, the strip will be presented in full in chronological order. They will be the ultimate books for Peanuts’ fans the world over.

Sally Brown elbows her way to center stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the logical choice for cover girl … and in her honour, the introduction is provided by Broadway, television and film star Kristin Chenoweth, who first rose to Tony-winning fame with her scene-stealing performance as Sally in You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Two long Summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty, who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly in love with her, much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up at camp as well, as does Peppermint Patty’s new permanent sidekick, the one and only Marcie. The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool, college hipster extraordinaire. He writes a fan letter to his favourite author, Miss Helen Sweetstory, then goes on a journey to meet her, and finally enlists Charlie Brown’s help when her latest opus, “The Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out,” falls afoul of censors.

Also, Woodstock attends worm school, falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited Peanuts love story ever!), and is nearly eaten by the neighbours’ cat … Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code violation … Snoopy turns Linus’s blanket into not one but two sportcoats … Lucy hits a home run … and the birth of one Rerun Van Pelt!
