As Peanuts reaches the mid-1980s, Charles Schulz is still creating and playing with new characters, and in this volume Snoopy s deadpan, droopy-mustached brother Spike takes center stage: Surrounded by coyotes in the desert where he lives and who are attacking him with rubber bands, he sends a frantic message to Snoopy who launches an expedition to save him. Then, he makes the long trek back to Snoopy s neck of the woods accompanied by his only friend (a cactus, of course) and throughout the rest of the book, pops up in hilarious, Waiting for Godot-style vignettes set in...

Peanuts reaches the middle of the go-go 1980s in this book, which covers 1985 and 1986: a time of hanging out at the mall, punkers (you haven t lived until you ve seen Snoopy with a Mohawk), killer bees, airbags, and Halley s Comet. And in a surprisingly sharp satirical sequence, Schulz pokes fun at runaway licensing, with the introduction of the insufferably merchandisable Tapioca Pudding. Also in this volume: Peppermint Patty wins the All-City School Essay Contest with her What I Did During Christmas Vacation essay, but snatches defeat from the jaws of victory with a disastrous...

The Complete Peanuts: 1991-1992 is the 21st volume (of 25) of the perennial, best-selling series that collects every single one of the 18,000-plus Peanuts newspaper comic strips created by Charles M. Schulz, from its debut in 1950 to its end in 2000. In this volume, the series enters its homestretch as the strip enters its final decade: Schulz s cartooning has never looked more confident, and his sense of humor is unrestrained. This material is perhaps the most overlooked of Charles M. Schulz s career, and The Complete Peanuts: 1991-1992 will cast it into a new...

Our latest volume is particularly dense with romantic intrigue, as Marcie and Charlie Brown end up at camp together, sending Peppermint Patty into mad jealousy (especially since Marcie can t resist teasing her) and an old friend of Charlie Brown s attempts to look him up again but confuses him with Snoopy and goes on a date with him instead. But the most crucial event in romance is Charlie Brown s romance with Peggy Jean even though he s so flustered in his first conversation with her that he ends up stuck with the name Brownie Charles for the duration of her relationship ( I kind of like it...

Even the most devoted Peanuts fan will be surprised by revisiting Schulz s last decade of work. Schulz s cartooning has never been more expressive, and his sense of humor never more unencumbered by formula or tradition. In one sequence, the gang waits and waits for a school bus that never comes. Another shockingly showcases Charlie Brown hitting a game-winning home run off Roy Hobbs great-granddaughter? Then, Linus lobbies the White House to nominate Snoopy for a Supreme Court seat (it would go to Ruth Bader Ginsburg). Woodstock discovers his long-lost grandfather s diary, detailing a hard...

Sometimes getting together with friends and family for Thanksgiving isn t all that it s cracked up to be, as Snoopy learns when his brother Spike invites him to spend Thanksgiving in the desert, and things don t quite work out as planned. At least it s a change of pace for Snoopy, who spends most Thanksgivings with the ol supper dish (and one lonely one at the malt shoppe as Joe Cool). It s also a tense time of year to be a bird who s afraid of being mistaken for a turkey and roasted, and Woodstock copes with his anxieties in various ways, including by donning a disguise with Snoopy s help....
