Snoopy - Le roman du film

The second volume of Fantagraphics Books' monumental Complete Peanuts series covers 1953-54, and the visual style and character development is closer to the kids we know and love, as they try to exist in a grown-up world. Charlie Brown is no longer the object of Patty and Violet's affection--derision, more like--and his pattern of losing continues. His misery at checkers hits 5000 (June 1953), 6000 (August), 7000 (November), 8000 (still November), and 10,000 (December) consecutive games, he gets shut out on Valentine's Day (February '53), he wears his first bad Halloween costume (October '54), and he gets a form rejection slip from Santa (December '54). On the baseball diamond, though, he actually has the lead in a game (April '53, but we don't see the final score) and briefly plays catcher. By now Lucy has become the main girl in the strip, and in addition to beating Charlie Brown at checkers, she begins her romantic pursuit of Schroeder (January '53), joins the baseball team (August '54), and wins her third consecutive Miss Fussbudget of the Year title (November '54). Her younger brother, Linus, starts what will become a longstanding feud with Snoopy in the first Sunday strip of '53, shows he's a prodigy in jump rope, blocks, houses of cards, and balloon blowing, and cuddles his security blanket (May '54). Schroeder continues his obsession with Beethoven and reveals the secret to playing great literature on a plastic piano with painted-on black keys (practice and "getting the breaks"). We meet two new characters, the perpetually dirty Pig-Pen (July '54) and the loudmouthed Charlotte Braun, whose funny name wasn't enough to keep her around for long.  Charles M. Schulz, whose own insecurity manifested itself in Charlie Brown (who not coincidentally draws his own cartoons), came up with his first multiple-strip storyline (starting with a four-Sunday series of Lucy joining a golf tournament coached by Charlie Brown, May '54) in this period, and provides us with a glimpse of the 1950s--deco furniture ("What in the world is a rocking chair"? asks CB), 3-D movies, H-bomb testing, and even what in hindsight looks like a prediction of the troubles in Vietnam (May '54). The second volume maintains the high quality of the first volume; even if it doesn't have the same extent of extra materials, it has an introduction by Walter Cronkite, a note on one strip that had to be partially reconstructed, and that handy index of characters and topics. --David Horiuchi

Snoopy et les Peanuts - Vol. 2: 1953-1954

Schulz est le meilleur créateur de bandes dessinées de tous les temps. Quand les Peanuts ont paru, en octobre 1950, les pages des comics contenaient des vieilleries dépassées des années 30 et 40. Dans la première série des Peanuts au contraire, on voyait de grosses têtes drôles et de grands espaces blancs où on avait envie d'entrer.-Jonathan FRANZEN.Le monde des Peanuts est un microcosme, une petite comédie humaine aussi bien pour le lecteur candide que pour le lecteur sophistiqué.-Umberto Eco.Ce recueil rassemble les dessins de Schulz des années 1955 et 1956.

Te voilà, Charlie Brown

'The Complete Peanuts 1963-64' contains never-before-reprinted strips, making it a trove of undiscovered treasures for avid Peanuts collectors.

Snoopy & les Peanuts 1963-1964 (Book #7)

Ne me casse les oreilles

Voici Charlie Brown, pleine de bonne volonté malgré sa malchance chronique, Schroeder, qui interprète tout Beethoven sur un piano d'enfant dont les touches noires sont peintes en trompe l'oeil, Linus et sa couverture qui le protége comme une armure. Lucy: la soire aineé de Linus, chipie et mauvais charactère, psychiaire en herbe qui aime Schroeder sans espoir, mais sans résigner. Sally la petite soeur de Charlie Brown, amoureuse de Linus et ennemie des mathématiques modernes. Et surtout Snoopy, le chien esthéte et individualiste qui résume toute sa philosophie d'une phrase: "Certains naissent hommes, d'autres chiens, et c'est moi qui ait eu la chance de naître chien.".

Snoopy et les Femmes

That’s right! With this volume, The Complete Peanuts reaches the halfway point of Charles M. Schulz’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 Woodstock’s case of the “the vapors,” and gets involved in a heated love triangle with Linus over the girl “Truffles.”The Complete Peanuts 1975-1976 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!Plus: 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 Peanuts at its finest! Featuring an introduction by comedian Robert Smigel (Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, Saturday Night Live).
