Product Description: In Charles Schulz's The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970, Woodstock makes his first appearance, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her school's dress code, Lucy declares herself a "New Feminist," and Snoopy returns to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking engagement. Speaking of Snoopy, this volume falls under the sign of the Great Beagle, as three separate storylines focus on the mysterious sovereign of Beagledom. Lucy throws Schroeder's piano into the maw of the kite-eating tree, with gruesome results... Miss Othmar goes on strike and Linus gets involved... Charlie Brown's baseball team has an actual (brief) winning streak... Snoopy's quest to compete in the Oakland ice skating competition is thwarted by his inability to find a partner... Charlie Brown goes to a banquet to meet his hapless baseball hero Joe Shlabotnik... Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt family's care as the Browns vacation... and the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away.
Don't go trying to hide in a cave or something! Fantagraphics Books has ambitious plans to reprint the entire run of Charles Schulz's Peanuts comic strip. This volume reprints the strips from 1969 and 1970. Some of the memorable moments include: Lucy throws Schroeder's piano into the kite eating tree, Snoopy lands on the moon (in his imagination), the little red-haired girl moves away, Snoopy gets elected Head Beagle and Woodstock gets a name. Peanuts was a comic strip masterpiece and this book has two years worth of proof of that. I might mention as an aside that although Snoopy is pictured as the World War I Flying Ace on the cover, there are only a handful of strips in which he portrays that character.
Peanuts are the greatist Peanuts and charlie brown is the greatist and so is this book have every one they have printed on the peanuts, quality of the book is great and a complete enjoyment
The complete Peanuts 1969-1970 It was a present for a friend. But I love the peanuts as well and this book was just awesome and really funny.
Excellent The book was just as advertised. It is cover to cover Peanuts comic strips and is a well constructed hard back book.
Funny as ever I've read every Volume since they started this series. Inside ther's the same small, great strips I've smiled about the volumes before. The wonder is that although Mr. Schulz wrote for such a long time, he nearly never repeated his jokes and after 38 Years they didn't sound old fashioned. Clearly you have to be fan if you buy the whole series. But this book is (as every other) great fun and worth every page.
