Complete Peanuts

review 1: I love the Peanuts comic strips and I am happy to have the next two volumes in the complete series (perfect for under-the-covers reading like when I was a kid). And so I enjoyed the latest installment but I have to admit that the 80s was the decade that the strip kind of "jumped the shark." Some strips feel recycled and certain characters (namely Spike from Needles) are not as funny as the original core group.
review 2: All the Peanuts books have been great, but this particular run won't make my list of favorites - there's a bit too much of Peppermint Patty dealing with her low academic prowess. Schulz has demonstrated before that he can really drive a particular bit into the ground, but somehow even by his standards, this seemed like overkill. Particularly sin... morece I had the same complaint about the previous volume.For Pigpen watchers, he does appear here a couple of times, along with Violet in one strip, though Schulz doesn't do much with his guest appearance - it's sort of like he dredged him up just to remind us that he still exists, in some sort of Peanuts limbo. less
