Snoopy atop his doghouse, Lucy's fivecent psychiatric booth, the Great Pumpkin, Miss Othmar, and Sally all debut. All this, and 'Happiness is a warm puppy.' Nearly 200 rare or unseen strips! Introduction by Whoopi Goldberg. As the first decade of Peanuts closes, it seems only fitting to bid farewell to that halcyon decade with a cover starring Patty, one of the original three Peanuts. Major new additions to classic Peanuts lore come fast and furious here. Snoopy begins to take up residence atop his doghouse, and his repertoire of impressions increases exponentially. Lucy sets up her booth and offers her first fivecent psychiatric counsel. (Her advice to a forlorn Charlie Brown: 'Get over it.') For the very first time, Linus spends all night in the pumpkin patch on his lonely vigil for the Great Pumpkin (although he laments that he was a victim of 'false doctrine,' he's back 12 months later). Linus also gets into repeated, and visually explosive, scuffles with a blanketstealing Snoopy, suffers the first depredations of his blankethating grandmother, and falls in love with his new teacher Miss Othmar. Even more importantly, several years after the last addition to the cast ('PigPen'), Charlie Brown's sister Sally makes her appearancefirst as an (offpanel) brand new baby for Charlie to gush over, then as a toddler and eventually a real, talking, thinking cast member. (By the end of this volume, she'll already start developing her crush on Linus.) All this, and one of the most famous Peanuts strips ever: 'Happiness is a warm puppy.' Almost one hundred of the 731 strips collected in this volume (including many Sundays) have never been collected in any book since their original release, with one hundred more having been collected only once in relatively obscure and now impossibletofind books; in other words, close to one quarter of the strips have never been seen by anyone but the most avid Peanuts completists.The introduction is by comedienne extraordinaire Whoopi Goldberg, who reveals which Peanuts character she has tattooed on her body (and where)as well as telling of her meeting with 'Sparky' Schulz, and her fascinating theory on Snoopy's brother Spike. As always, this volume is gorgeously designed by awardwinning cartoonist Seth. The Complete Peanuts continues to receive national and international media attention for its sophisticated treatment of one of the 20th Century's defining American classics.A 2007 Eisner Award winner: Best Archival Collection/Project: Strips; a 2007 Harvey Award winner: Best Domestic Reprint Project. 730 blackandwhite comic strips
