The Complete Peanuts will run 25 volumes, collecting two years chronologically at a rate of two a year for 12 years. Each volume is designed by the award-winning cartoonist, Seth. This edition reprints the daily and Sunday strips from 1967 and 1968. Still, Snoopy looms large, so this volume (a particularly Snoopy-heavy one) sees him arm-wrestling Lucy as the Masked Marvel and then taking off for Petaluma for the national arm-wrestling championship; impersonating a vulture and a Cheshire Beagle; enjoying golf and hockey; attempting a jaunt to France for an ice-skating championship; running for office on the Paw ticket; being traded to Peppermint Pattys baseball team, then un-traded and installed as team manager by a guilt-ridden Charlie Brown; as well as dealing with the return of his original owner, Lila. If youre surprised by that last one, imagine how Charlie Brown feels... Lila makes only a brief appearance (as does Jos Peterson, a short-lived -- and short -- star member of Charlie Browns baseball team), but this volume sees the appearance of what would be Schulzs most controversial major character: Franklin. (Yes, in 1968 the introduction of a black character caused a stir.) Peppermint Patty, working toward her ascendancy as one of the major Peanuts players in the 1970s and 1980s, also has several major turns, including a storyline in which shes the tent monitor for three little girls (who call her Sir -- a joke Schulz would pick up later with Peppermint Pattys friend Marcie). Stories involving other characters include a sequence in which Linuss flippant comment to his Gramma that hell kick his blanket habit when she kicks her smoking habit backfires; Lucy bullies Linus, pesters Schroeder, and organizes a crab-in; plus Charlie Brown copes with Valentines Day depression, the Little Red-Haired Girl, the increasingly malevolent kite-eating tree, and baseball losses. In other words: Vintage Peanuts All this, plus an introduction by beloved transgressive filmmaker John Waters and award-winning design by Seth.
