With this volume, \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Peanuts\u003c\/i\u003e reaches the halfway point of Charles M. Schulz’s astounding half-century run on the greatest comic strip of all time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThese years are especially fecund in terms of new canine characters, as Snoopy is joined by his wandering brother Spike (from Needles), his beloved sister Belle (from Kansas City), and... did you know he had a nephew? In other beagle news, Snoopy breaks his foot and spends six weeks in a cast, deals with his friend Woodstock’s case of the “the vapors,” and gets involved in a heated love triangle with Linus over the girl “Truffles.”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe Complete Peanuts 1975-1976\u003c\/i\u003e features several other long stories, including a rare “double track” sequence with two parallel narratives: Peppermint Patty and Snoopy travel to participate in the Powderpuff Derby, while Charlie Brown finally gets to meet his idol Joe Shlabotnik. And Peppermint Patty switches to a private school, but commits the mistake of allowing Snoopy to pick it for her; only after graduation does she realize something’s not quite right!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPlus: A burglary at Peppermint Patty’s house is exacerbated by waterbed problems... Marcie acquires an unwanted suitor... Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty become desk partners... The talking school building collapses... Lots of tennis jokes... and gags starring Schroeder, Lucy, Franklin, Rerun, Sally, and that vicious cat next door. It’s another two years of \u003ci\u003ePeanuts\u003c\/i\u003e at its finest!

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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRobert Smigel\u003c\/b\u003e is an American actor, humorist, comedian and writer known for his \u003ci\u003eSaturday Night Live\u003c\/i\u003e \"TV Funhouse\" cartoon shorts and as the puppeteer and voice behind Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog.
