The Complete Peanuts 1977-1978 - Charles M. Schulz

Descriere

Many new characters appear in one of Schulz's most creative periods. With an introduction by Alec Baldwin. n nFor instance, in an epic five-week sequence, when Charlie Brown, found guilty by the EPA of biting the Kite-Eating tree, he goes on the lam and ends up coaching the Goose Eggs, a group of diminutive baseball players, Austin, Ruby, Leland, and--did you know there was a second black Peanuts character, aside from Franklin?--Milo. n nAlso: a tennis-playing Snoopy ends up reluctantly teamed with the extreme Type A athlete Molly Volley... who then reappears later in the book, now facing off against her nemesis, Crybaby Boobie. (Honest ) Add in Sally's new camp friend Eudora, the thuggish caddymaster who shoots down Peppermint Patty and Marcie's new vocation, an entire hockey team, and a surprise repeat appearance by Linus's sweetheart Truffles (creating a love triangle with Sally), all in addition to the usual cast of beloved characters (including the talking schoolhouse and the doghouse-jigsawing cat, who gets hold of Linus's blanket in this one), and you've got a veritable crowd of characters. n nIt's another two years of the greatest comic strip of all time, full of laughs and surprises.
