Two long Summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty, who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly in love with her, much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up at camp as well, as does Peppermint Patty’s new permanent sidekick, the one and only Marcie. The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool, college hipster extraordinaire. And in three long sequences he writes a fan letter to his favorite author, Miss Helen Sweetstory, then goes on a journey to meet her, and finally enlists Charlie Brown’s help when her latest opus, \u003ci\u003eThe Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out\u003c\/i\u003e, falls afoul of censors. Also, Woodstock attends worm school, falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e love story ever!), and is nearly eaten by the neighbors’ cat... Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code violation and makes a very ill-advised choice in terms of lawyers... Snoopy turns Linus’s blanket into not one but two sportcoats... Lucy hits a home run...and the birth of one Rerun Van Pelt!\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles M. Schulz \u003c\/b\u003ewas born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip \u003ci\u003eBarney Google\u003c\/i\u003e). His ambition from a young age was to be a cartoonist and his first success was selling 17 cartoons to the \u003ci\u003eSaturday Evening Post\u003c\/i\u003e between 1948 and 1950. He also sold a weekly comic feature called \u003ci\u003eLi'l Folks\u003c\/i\u003e to the local \u003ci\u003eSt. Paul Pioneer Press\u003c\/i\u003e. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates and in the spring of 1950, United Feature Syndicate expressed interest in \u003ci\u003eLi'l Folks\u003c\/i\u003e. They bought the strip, renaming it \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e, a title Schulz always loathed. The first \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952. Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day-and the day before his last strip was published, having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand — an unmatched achievement in comics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556355952801,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781683962007","price":30.39,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781683962007_ea1d08f1-710c-4c73-b75c-9c5327179e74.jpg?v=1781812184","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-complete-peanuts-1971-1972-paperback-by-charles-m-schulz-1","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
