The Complete Peanuts Volume 11:
1971-1972 Hardcover Graphic Novel
The Story:
by Charles M. Schulz
Peanuts surges into the 1970s with Schulz at the peak of his powers
and influence: a few jokes about Bob Dylan, Women's Liberation and
"Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex" (!) aside, these
two years are as timeless as Peanuts ever was. Sally Brown - school
phobia, malapropisms, unrequited love for Linus and all - elbows
her way to center stage, at least among the humans, and is thus the
logical choice for cover girl... and in her honor, the introduction
is provided by none other than Broadway, television and film star
Kristin (Wicked) Chenoweth, who first rose to Tony-winning fame
with her scene-stealing performance as Sally in You're a Good Man,
Charlie Brown. Two long Summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown
and Peppermint Patty, who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly
in love with her, much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up
at camp as well, as does Peppermint Patty's new permanent sidekick,
the one and only Marcie. The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes
off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool,
college hipster extraordinaire. And in three long sequences he
writes a fan letter to his favorite author, Miss Helen Sweetstory,
then goes on a journey to meet her, and finally enlists Charlie
Brown's help when her latest opus, "The Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak
Out," falls afoul of censors. Also, Woodstock attends worm school,
falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited
Peanuts love story ever!), and is nearly eaten by the neighbors'
cat... Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code
violation and makes a very ill-advised choice in terms of
lawyers... Snoopy turns Linus's blanket into not one but two
sportcoats... Lucy hits a home run... and the birth of one Rerun
Van Pelt! B&W/$28.99
