Snoopy: Joue Les Cabots

A collection of Peanuts comic strips featuring Charlie Brown and his friends.

Ambiance d'automne

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 Peanuts - Vol. 5: 1959-1960

Charlie Brown est incurable. Mais doit-on guérir de son enfance ? Quelle est cette étrange familiarité qui nous envahit lorsqu'on feuillette des ouvrages de Charles M. Schulz ? Les enfants de cette série sont tous notre enfance : qui comme Linus n'a pas eu besoin de sa couverture et envie de sucer son pouce ? Qui n'a pas promis qu'il allait laisser tomber son objet transitionnel, le reprenant avec soumission ultérieurement ? Qui ne s'est pas caché comme lui sous sa couverture par peur du monde environnant, qui n'a pas eu une sœur redoutable qui essaie de lui gâcher la vie ?

On va y arriver, Charlie Brown

Élémentaire mon cher Snoopy (Snoopy, #13)

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
