The Complete Peanuts 1965-1966: Vol. 8 Paperback Edition by Hal Hartley, Charles M. Schulz
4.0
4 stars because this collection has a LOT of Red Baron and Baseball plot lines, which aren't my favorite. I will never get tired of the Linus as Child Prodigy schtick. Lucy's spitfire confidence especially shines in these strips, which is a joy.
P L U S the end of this collection introduces "Peppermint" Patty (gotta respect Schulz's peculiar use of quotation marks), which is a Peanuts game changer and also just a joy unto the world. In one of my favorite Peanuts strips of all time, "Peppermint" Patty sits waiting for the Great Pumpkin, reflecting on superstition and beliefs. In the last frame, she leans against a pumpkin and says, "Let's face it... I'm also a little bit stupid." That's what I come to Peanuts for: this masterful juxtaposition of childhood innocence and deep, sometimes dark introspection.
Will I continue my secret goal to read every Peanuts strip this year? Seems likely!
