Hooray for Fantagraphics Books!\u00a0 This is now the ninth volume of The Complete Peanuts <\/em>series, publishing every single comic strip from Peanuts, <\/em>from the day it began in 1950.<\/p>\n

In the 1967 to 1968 volume, we’re getting into the classic Peanuts <\/em>that I knew and loved as a little girl.<\/p>\n

There’s a strip that I think epitomizes this golden age of Peanuts:\u00a0 <\/em>Franklin comes into the neighborhood, looking for Charlie Brown.\u00a0 He meets Lucy in her psychiatrist booth and Snoopy wearing his Red Baron goggles.\u00a0 When Linus tries to tell him about the Great Pumpkin, that’s the last straw.\u00a0 Franklin can’t handle it.\u00a0 As Franklin tells this to Charlie Brown, Schroeder comes up and says, “Hi!\u00a0 Did you guys know there are only sixty more days until Beethoven’s birthday?”\u00a0 Franklin’s comment is “Like, wow!”\u00a0 (Remember, this is the Sixties.)<\/p>\n

Yes, in this period, each character was fully into his own neuroses.<\/p>\n

I was also surprised to discover, in this volume, a strip about military musicians.\u00a0 Naturally, it’s between Lucy and Schroeder:<\/p>\n

Lucy says, “In a way, you’re quite lucky Schroeder..\u00a0 If you ever go into the army, they won’t put you in the front lines…\u00a0 You could play the piano for the officers while they eat!”<\/p>\n

Schroeder’s reaction?\u00a0 AAUGH!<\/p>\n
