A review by library_brandy
The Complete Peanuts 1953-1954: Vol. 2 Hardcover Edition by Charles M. Schulz

4.0

Peanuts is obviously on its way to becoming a great strip, an iconic strip, but after reading 5 years' worth in a big gulp, it really does get repetitive. The characters are more caricatures than characters--there's no emotional depth to them, really, but just rough shapes. Charlie Brown has a big ego and yet is insecure; Lucy is a fussbudget; Violet makes mud pies. It's a lot of the same, rephrased and recycled.

Thank god Charlotte Braun didn't last, though.
