Complete Peanuts 1967-1968

Product Description

As we rush toward the end of Peanuts' second full decade Snoopy finds himself almost completely engrossed in his persona as the World War I Flying Ace. Still Snoopy looms large so this volume (a particularly Snoopy-heavy one) sees him arm-wrestling Lucy as the Masked Marvel" & then taking off for Petaluma for the national arm-wrestling championship; impersonating a vulture & a " Cheshire Beagle"; enjoying golf & hockey; attempting a jaunt to France for an ice-skating championship; running for office on the " Paw" ticket; being traded to Peppermint Patty's baseball team then un-traded & installed as team manager by a guilt-ridden Charlie Brown; as well as dealing with the return of his original owner Lila. Peppermint Patty working toward her ascendancy as one of the major Peanuts players in the 1970s & 1980s also has several major turns including a storyline in which she's the tent monitor for three little girls (who call her " Sir"
- a joke Schulz would pick up later with Peppermint Patty's friend Marcie). Linus's flippant comment to his Gramma that he'll kick his blanket habit when she kicks her smoking habit backfires; Lucy bullies Linus pesters Schroeder & organizes a "crab-in"; plus Charlie Brown copes with Valentine's Day depression the Little Red-Haired Girl the increasingly malevolent kite-eating tree & baseball losses. In other words: Vintage Peanuts! All this plus an introduction by beloved transgressive filmmaker John Waters & award-winning design by Seth."
