It's with this volume that I started collecting the Complete Peanuts from Fantagraphics. This marks the point where Charles Schulz really hits his stride. By the start of the 1960s, Peanuts started gaining in popularity. Many memorable strips and story arcs are introduced in the 1959-1960 volume such as the arrival of Sally Brown, Charlie Brown's little sister; the debut of both the Great Pumpkin and Lucy's psychiatry booth; Miss Othmar; and much more. The characters are clearly defined by now. Charlie Brown is the designated loser and scapegoat here, but you always sympathize with him. Lucy does nothing but tease Charlie Brown - though Patty (not Peppermint Patty) and Violet also join in. Snoopy's vibrant and lively personality is here as is Linus in the role of best friend and Schroeder as the dedicated piano player. The 1960s and 1970s are considered the Golden Age of the Peanuts comic strip; this entry is a good place to start. The "Peanuts" collection for 1959 and 1960 reaches new levels of inventiveness, charm and humor. This is the point at which I remember first reading and loving it as a kid. It still holds up, and even more, because I now appreciate the genius of many of these strips. There is excellent slapstick, gentle humor, and philosophical quandaries - sometimes in the same strip. Schulz's artwork is hitting new levels too, especially in facial expressions. Look for it. Charlie Brown's sister Sally is born, soon developing her long-standing crush on Linus. And the book contains one of my all-time favorites, where, after hearing of Linus' dream to be a world-famous doctor, Lucy tells him he could never be a doctor, because he doesn't love mankind... Linus defensively says, "I love mankind. It's people I can't stand!" sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

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 five-cent 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 blanket-stealing Snoopy, suffers the first depredations of his blanket-hating grandmother, and falls in love with his new teacher Miss Othmar. Even more importantly, several years after the last addition to the cast ("Pig-Pen"), Charlie Brown's sister Sally makes her appearance?first as an (off-panel) 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 impossible-to-find books; in other words, close to one quarter of the strips have never been seen by anyone but the most avid Peanuts completest.
