This anthology, like the others, shows the progression of the comic strip through the years. It has very interesting forwards as well.

I have been purchasing this series for many years. I can hardly wait until the next 4 year (1987-1990) set comes out. It is a true enjoyment to read and see the growth in the charachters. To read them in order that they were first printed is fun, the story line is not jumbled.
A better collection cannot be bought.

Peanuts Gift Box Set 83-86

I began buying these gift sets for my Mother, who loved and collected Peanuts items. She passed 21/2 years ago. I promised myself (and her) that I would continue to buy the sets until it is complete. I just feel she would want that. They are beautiful books and would be a sure bet gift for any Peanuts enthusiast.

All I can say is that at the end of the day, when I am tired and stressed from work, I enjoy sitting in silence (no TV, no radio) and unwinding with a comic strip that still makes me laugh and think at the same time. A great buy at a great price!

Good grief, Schulz is still going strong in the 80s

If you thought Peanuts had hit its peak in the mid 60s, or perhaps the early 70s ("Mr. Sack," anyone?), you might be tempted to ignore this latest installment of the strip's oeuvre. Don't.
Schulz is in fine form here; the familiar characters, long since settled into their now-standard roles, are starting to experiment more (would you believe Schroeder actually kisses Lucy?), and Snoopy is nearly upstaged by his desert-dwelling brother, Spike, while debuting a new persona as a bumbling, cliché-spouting attorney. Newer characters, such as Rerun, Eudora, and other members of Snoopy's family, assert their presence, and some obscure ones from older strips (such as Molly Volley) reappear, while the Little Red-Haired Girl fades into the background. And poor Peppermint Patty rivals Charlie Brown in the failure department, with a string of D-minuses nearly as long as Charlie Brown's dropped outfield catches, strikeouts at the plate, and kite-related mayhem.
As usual, Fantagraphics' presentation of the strip is excellent; the only complaint is that the Sunday strips aren't in color, but this may be because they're working with Schulz's original drawings (which weren't colored by him) whenever possible. Also, adding color plates just for Sundays would probably add considerably to the cost; perhaps a Sunday-only color edition is in the works when the main series is completed in 2016.
