Charlie Brown: A Peanuts Collection

Product Information

Thompson Is in Trouble, Charlie Brown continues from its predecessor to mid- January 1973 (plus the Sunday strip of February 4, 1973), providing about 93% inclusion. You Can Do It, Charlie Brown repeats the last week of strips that appeared in You Can't Win, Charlie Brown (the story of Linus acting as a "baseball scout"), and continues into mid- May 1963. Fawcett editions were issued from this volume before Snoopy, Come Home, and in the first of these, Nobody's Perfect, Charlie Brown, ten strips were left out, including seven that also appeared in other books (the six strips of the Linus-as-baseball-scout story, plus one that would subsequently be repeated in As You Like It, Charlie Brown) and three that did not appear elsewhere; and the remaining space at the end of You're a Brave Man, Charlie Brown was filled with ten strips actually from the beginning portion of Snoopy, Come Home.

For his part, Charlie Brown is often frustrated by Sally's laziness and her reluctance to do the right thing when she finds herself in a difficult situation. His attempts to lecture Sally usually either go over her head or simply fall on deaf ears. However, Charlie Brown still always helps her, when it comes to her homework, or bullies, even though Sally rarely appreciates what he does for her. Schroeder is one of Charlie Brown's closest friends, they commonly have conferences on the pitcher's mound in between pitches, mostly about hand signals (one finger means a fastball and two fingers means a curveball, etc.) and Beethoven. Charlie Brown is also one of the few people who Schroeder will let lounge against his piano, as he knows Charlie Brown respects his love of Beethoven. In fact, when Schroeder was younger, Charlie Brown would read the life of Beethoven to him. Charlie Brown was also the one who introduced Schroeder to the piano.

In 1985 the Peanuts reprint line was taken up by the Topper books imprint of Pharos books, which was owned by Scripps-Howard, the company that also owned United Feature Syndicate, so that the strips were effectively reprinted "in-house". These were dubbed Peanuts Collector Series. The books were all in "landscape" format, with the first four measuring 5 by 8½ inches (13cm x 21cm), the next three measuring 7 by 10 inches (18cm x 25cm), and the last one 8½ by 11 inches (21cm x 28cm). Each volume contained slightly more than the equivalent of three-quarters of an HRW "Original"; thus three Fawcetts were issued for each pair of these volumes, providing a little less than complete coverage. These were the final books from which Fawcetts would be issued. Celebrating Peanuts". Andrewsmcmeel.com. Archived from the original on September 23, 2015 . Retrieved May 21, 2015.

Charles Schulz had always resisted republication of the earliest Peanuts strips, as they did not reflect the characters as he eventually developed them. However, in 1997 he began talks with Fantagraphics Books to have the entire run of the strip, which would end up with 17,897 strips in total, published chronologically in book form.

Schulz attended Richards Gordon Elementary School in Saint Paul, where he skipped two half-grades. He became a shy, timid teenager, perhaps as a result of being the youngest in his class at Central High School. One well-known episode in his high school life was the rejection of his drawings by his high school yearbook, which he referred to in Peanuts years later, when he had Lucy ask Charlie Brown to sign a picture he drew of a horse, only to then say it was a prank. [9] A five-foot-tall statue of Snoopy was placed in the school's main office 60 years later.

In addition to the core cast, other characters appeared regularly for a majority of the strip's duration: It would be impossible to narrow down three or two or even one direct influence on [Schulz's] personal drawing style. The uniqueness of "Peanuts" has set it apart for years ... That one-of-a-kind quality permeates every aspect of the strip and very clearly extends to the drawing. It is purely his with no clear forerunners and no subsequent pretenders. [37]
