Editorial Review: Product Description: In Charles Schulz's The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970, Woodstock makes his first appearance, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her school's dress code, Lucy declares herself a "New Feminist," and Snoopy returns to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking engagement. Speaking of Snoopy, this volume falls under the sign of the Great Beagle, as three separate storylines focus on the mysterious sovereign of Beagledom. Lucy throws Schroeder's piano into the maw of the kite-eating tree, with gruesome results... Miss Othmar goes on strike and Linus gets involved... Charlie Brown's baseball team has an actual (brief) winning streak... Snoopy's quest to compete in the Oakland ice skating competition is thwarted by his inability to find a partner... Charlie Brown goes to a banquet to meet his hapless baseball hero Joe Shlabotnik... Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt family's care as the Browns vacation... and the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Last of the golden decadeMany memorable stories here:Snoopy on the moon, Lucy feeds Schroeder's piano to the kite-eating tree, the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm scenario of a protest against that stupidest war, Vietnam Bloody War. Alas, from now on the Peanuts Gang shall be progressively more neglected in favour of Snoopy's fancy impersonations and his little bird's friend, Woodstock. Frieda gone, Shermy gone, and scarcely a story that doesn't involve Snoopy and/or Woodstock. But this is still a good book, with many goldies and ... Read More Rating: - More Please!After nine previous volumes, this volume, volume 10, brings Peanuts into my lifetime. It was fun to read my birthday strip which has Linus and Charlie Brown discussing the fact that one more forfeit will put their baseball team in first place. For some reason, I find this comforting. In any case, for those of us who really enjoy Peanuts, there is plenty to enjoy from 1969 and 1970. Two words: "head beagle." We also finally discover that the name of that bird that can't seem to fly ... Read More Rating: - "Woodstock is glad that he tastes terrible with cranberry sauce"Another momentous event occurs in this, the tenth volume of what seems like an infinite series. 232 pages in, the various birds that have hung around Snoopy's place since the mid 1960s finally achieve distillation down to a recognizable unit. On June 22nd, 1970, Snoopy addresses the reader: "I finally found out what that stupid bird's name is... you'll never believe it.. Woodstock!" In the tradition of Mutt and Jeff, Batman and Robin, and even Laurel and Hardy, Snoopy and Woodstock became, from that ... Read More Rating: - Snoopy becomes "Head Beagle" in more ways than one!This latest PEANUTS collection features an unquestionable "tipping point" -- and you can get a hint as to what it is by checking out the front cover's featured player. No, it's not the high point of the "World War I Flying Ace" era; in fact, the fad that had begun in '66 quietly exited the scene during this period. (The brooding 6/1/69 Sunday strip could be taken as a formal recognition of the fact. When the "Flying Ace" returned to the strip a decade later, the bullets and dogfights were dispensed with ... Read More Rating: - "How can you remember someone you can't forget?"Another wild, great year in the world of Peanuts. While no new characters were added in (and The WWI Fighting Ace only showed up in single strips), there were interesting developments: 1: Linus finally showed a temper, twice turning on Charlie Brown for his wishy-washiness. He even throws Lucy for a loop once. 2: The Red-Haired girl moves out. After watching her move out to the soundtrack of Linus's hissy fit, CB spends the rest of the book occasionally missing her. 3: ... Read More
