Explanation Toward Books The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 4: 1957-1958 (The Complete Peanuts #4)

As the 1950s close down, Peanuts definitively enters its golden age. Linus, who had just learned to speak in the previous volume, becomes downright eloquent and even begins to fend off Lucy's bullying; even so, his security neurosis becomes more pronounced, including a harrowing two-week "Lost Weekend" sequence of blanketlessness. Charlie Brown cascades further down the hill to loserdom, with spectacularly lost kites, humiliating baseball losses (including one where he becomes "the Goat" and is driven from the field in a chorus of BAAAAHs); at least his newly acquired "pencil pal" affords him some comfort. Pig-Pen, Shermy, Violet, and Patty are also around, as is an increasingly Beethoven-fixated Schroeder. But the rising star is undoubtedly Snoopy. He's at the center of the most graphically dynamic and action-packed episodes (the ones in which he attempts to grab Linus's blanket at a dead run). He even tentatively tries to sleep on the crest of his doghouse roof once or twice, with mixed results. And his imitations continue apace, including penguins, anteaters, sea monsters, vultures and (much to her chagrin) Lucy. No wonder the beagle is the cover star of this volume.

Evaluation Regarding Books The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 4: 1957-1958 (The Complete Peanuts #4)

A dynamite two years for the Peanuts gang - Schulz has really come into his own, and this collection is not just "promising": it's very very good. At the heart of the work, Charlie Brown has become a fascinating, multi-layered character whose resigned reactions to life and its concerns are as relevant to anyone of any age today, as they were to the boy and his creator in the 1950s.Beyond this, all of the supporting characters prove their worth. Lucy and Linus, obviously, stand out, with the rest

Once again the characters make moves towards the ones we know today. Sally is now a part of the series and her infatuation with Linus is just beginning to develop. I think this is the volume where Beethoven's birthday became a Peanuts national holiday. December 16th, for those who have forgotten Shroeder's frequent reminders. Bible quotes at Christmas first appeared during this period, and Lucy forcing Linus to be part of the Christmas Pageant became a yearly theme. I'm having a lot of fun

It was to read the old "Peanuts" comics. Charlie Brown being so down on himself and other getting down on him got a little old. I laughed out loud at the comics for 3/10/58 when they were talking about kids "today" watching too much television and not doing anything. It was something people are still saying 50 years later!

Another set of classic Peanuts strips. And I use "classic" both in terms of age and quality. This volume contains a couple of the best strips in all of Peanuts. The first is Charlie Brown sitting alone in a bucket of water instead of joining the rest of the kids in a pool. As a natural loner who often avoids social interaction while still yearning for it, I can totally relate to Charlie Brown. The second is Lucy building then smashing snowmen (the strip Matt Groening referenced in the forward to

1957 wasn't Peanuts best year. With Shermy, Patty and Violet's presence receding, the pool of jokes threatens to turn into a puddle. There seems to be a higher percentage of reworked jokes than before. Also it must be said that Snoopy is something of an eyesore during this period; so elastic and totally lacking in the sharp lines that made him so adorable in the early years. By '58, Schulz finds new riffs and character combinations that leave the series arcing upward into the fertile 1960s.

The same cast as the last 5 years: Charlie Brown, Lucy van Pelt, Linus van Pelt, Snoopy, Schroeder, Violet, Patty, "Pig-Pen," and Shermy.This book is my favorite of the '50s. The humor has hit its stride, and Schulz is shining with these characters' pain, anger, depression, philosophy, and witticisms.Snoopy and Linus are the only characters still growing at this point. Linus is learning about the world, and it seems he's torn between intellectual and toddler. The genius with the blanket. Snoopy
