Relation Conducive To Books The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 5: 1959-1960 (The Complete Peanuts #5)
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 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 award-winning 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.

More of the old PEANUTS. With Sally Brown being the biggest addition. And you know, as much as I love the new PEANUTS, the old school series has something very special about it. PEANUTS was always one of my most favorite things in this life. It's like a hot tea with cinnamon apple pie during the cold and rainy day. With your daily life being the rain and PEANUTS being a pie. So, honestly, if you didn't start with this fantastic collection yet, you should totally do.My only complaint here isI read these Peanuts books with my two oldest girls (11 and 8) because I have such fond memories of reading them when I was their age. I also think it's good for them to read these books because I want them to develop a sense of humor. I am convinced that a sense of humor, like anything else, is rarely natural but rather must be developed by hearing good story telling, reading intelligent humor and experiencing those who understand and enjoy the art of banter, wit and retortion. It is
What can you say to adequately describe the work of Charles Schulz? Honestly, it is quite a tall order. His keen understanding of human nature and accurate sense of our shared fears and longings, are second to none. I have to say, I relate to the Peanuts gang more closely than any other set of literary characters. So often as I read these masterful strips, I find myself saying, "I've felt just like that!" Or "That very same thing has happened to me!" It's amazing how Charles Schulz portrayed
Golden stuff. I've had the previous four volumes of this "Complete Peanuts" series, but this is the first one that's felt properly like the stuff I read as a kid.
Totally excellent. By this time the characters have mostly assumed their eventual shape and the humour has grown up
No review required. This was my "in-between books" excursion. What's not to like about Charlie Brown, Linius, Lucy, and the gang.Absolutely loved Peanuts. Still do.
This volume is another testimony of the Peanuts' undeniable peak period. Some of the all time best sequences are here: the birth of Sally (May 1959), the classic 18 days long story in which Charlie Brown can't manage his baseball team because he has to push Sally around (August 1959), the egg-shell story (January 1960), and my all-time favorite: the icicle life-threatening Snoopy (February 1960). Also featured is an isolated psychiatric help 5 ct. strip (March 27, 1959), the first two Halloween
