Product DescriptionWith intros by John Waters and Mo Willems! The Complete Peanuts 1967-1968 is a particularly Snoopy-heavy collection. In addition to seeing the beagle adopt multiple personas, this volume also sees the appearance of what would be Schulz's most controversial major character: Franklin. In Charles Schulz's The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970, Woodstock makes his first appearance, Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt family's care as the Browns vacation... and the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away.

The 60's come to a close in style with the Peanuts gang
'741.5 SCH'
That may be gibberish to some, but to me, it was the dewey-decimal system location of the Peanuts strips in my Elementary school library. I really gained my love of Peanuts from those library-bound books, but always remembered coming back to 'The Peanuts Jubilee,' which was (at the time) the only way to find insight into the earlier strips. With Fantagraphic Books, we've been able to see what many of those early years were like. With the latest volume, we've moved into familiar territory with some of the more familiar characters and stories.
In this volume, a number of revelations come about:
-Lucy goes to extreme measures and throws Schroeder's piano to the kite-eating tree.
NEAR TWO DECADES STANDARDS MAINTAINED!
While perhaps not quite as consistent as the mid 50's to mid 60's strips this collection is still superior to almost anything else around. I'll be collecting these sets for a while yet!
