The Complete Peanuts 1963-1964 by Charles M. Schulz
4.0
After reading two books about Peanuts fairly recently, I decided it was time to read another collection of actual Peanuts comics. This one, from 1963-1964, was damn good.
Like a lot of people my age, Peanuts was always in the newspaper when I was younger and the strip seemed pretty unremarkable since we grew up with Peanuts holiday specials on TV and those Met Life commercials.
This is not like the strip in its waning years. The strip was still missing some of the iconic characters like Peppermint Pattie, Marcie, and Woodstock but was in fine form. Charlie Brown gets little leaguers elbow. Linus has his hopes regarding the Great Pumpkin crushed twice. Lucy practiced psychiatric care without a license and continuously sexually harassed Schroeder. Snoopy's doghouse is revealed to be a TARDIS, containing a billiard room and murals.
This is a really fun Peanuts collection from before the time they started shitting out merchandise. 4.5 out of 5 stars.
