內容簡介 The Complete Peanuts 1979-1980 includes a number of classicstorylines (and Peppermint Patty in cornrows?!), including the month-longsequence in which an ill Charlie Brown is hospitalized (including a particularlyspooky moment when he wonders if he’s died and nobody’s told himyet), and an especially eventful trek with Snoopy, Woodstock, and the ScoutTroop (now including a little girl bird, Harriet). Snoopy is still trying onidentities left and right, including the “world-famous surveyor,”the “world-famous census taker,” and Blackjack Snoopy, the riverboatgambler. In other extended stories, Snoopy launches an ill-fated airline (withLucy as the agent, Linus as the luggage handler, and Marcie as stewardess)...Peppermint Patty responds to being leaked upon by a ceiling by hiring a lawyer(unfortunately, she again picks Snoopy)... plus, one of the great, forgottenromances of Peanuts that will startle even long-time Peanutsconnoisseurs: Peppermint Patty and...“Pig-Pen”?! It�s 1980, Charlie Brown� and Peppermint Patty is wearing corn-rows! Plus, a strange romance... Charles Schulz enters his fourth decade as the greatest cartoonist of his generation, and Peanuts remains as fresh and lively as it ever was.(How do we know it�s 1980? Well, for one thing Peppermint Patty gets herself those Bo-Derek-in-10 cornrows � Peanuts� timelessness occasionally shows a crack!)That said, The Complete Peanuts 1979-1980 includes a number of classic storylines, including the month-long sequence in which an ill Charlie Brown is hospitalized (including a particularly spooky moment when he wonders if he�s died and nobody�s told him yet), and an especially eventful trek with Snoopy, Woodstock, and the scout troop (now including a little girl bird, Harriet).
