The Complete Peanuts 1975-1978, Vol. 13-14

A gift set of the thirteenth and fourteenth Complete Peanuts volumes, in a handsome and durable slipcase.
The Complete Peanuts 1975-1976: Good grief, Charlie Brown, we're halfway there! Thatâ€™s right! With this volume, The Complete Peanuts reaches the halfway point of Charles M. Schulzâ€™s astounding half-century run on the greatest comic strip of all time. These 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 Woodstockâ€™s case of the â€œthe vapors,â€ and gets involved in a heated love triangle with Linus over the girl â€œTruffles.â€ The Complete Peanuts 1975-1976 features several other long stories, including a rare â€œdouble trackâ€ 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 somethingâ€™s not quite right! Plus: A burglary at Peppermint Pattyâ€™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. Itâ€™s another two years of Peanuts at its finest! Featuring an introduction by comedian Robert Smigel (Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Saturday Night Live).

The Complete Peanuts 1977-1978: As the 1970s wind down, the last two recurring Peanuts characters have fallen into place: Snoopyâ€™s brother Spike and the youngest Van Pelt sibling, Rerun. But that doesnâ€™t mean Schulzâ€™s creativity has diminished; in fact, this volume features an amazing profusion of hilariously distinctive new one- (or two-) shot characters! For instance, in an epic five-week sequence, when Charlie Brown, found guilty by the EPA of biting the Kite-Eating tree, he goes on the lam and ends up coaching the â€œGoose Eggs,â€ a group of diminutive baseball players, Austin, Ruby, Leland, and â€•did you know there was a second Black Peanuts character, aside from Franklin?â€•Milo. Also: a tennis-playing Snoopy ends up reluctantly teamed with the extreme Type â€œAâ€ athlete Molly Volley... who then reappears later in the book, now facing off against her nemesis, â€œCrybabyâ€ Boobie. (Honest!) Add in Sallyâ€™s new camp friend Eudora, the thuggish â€œcaddymasterâ€ who shoots down Peppermint Patty and Marcieâ€™s new vocation, an entire hockey team, and a surprise repeat appearance by Linusâ€™s sweetheart â€œTrufflesâ€ (creating a love triangle with Sally), all in addition to the usual cast of beloved characters (including the talking schoolhouse and the doghouse-jigsawing cat, who gets ahold of Linusâ€™s blanket in this one), and youâ€™ve got a veritable crowd of characters. Introduction by 30 Rock's Alec Baldwin.

Itâ€™s another four years of the greatest comic strip of all time, full of laughs and surprises. 1461 black-and-white comic strips
