New Book
A fifth collection of classic Peanuts newspaper comic strips features 248 daily strips from 1955-1958 and feature Snoopy, perhaps Peanuts most popular character, certainly when it comes to canines! This book is a facsimile edition of the fifth Peanuts collection originally published back in 1958 by the Clarke, Irwin & Company, Ltd of Toronto, Canada. This collection of 248 daily Peanuts newspaper strips that appeared between 1955 -1958 focuses on, perhaps the most famous character in the Peanuts universe, Charlie Brown’s Beagle, Snoopy. Whether he’s chasing snow flakes, doing impersonations or just dancing his world famous happy jig, things are always going to a little sillier when Snoopy’s around. The strip’s bitter-sweet humour and child-like innocence helped to cement the Peanuts comic strip’s popularity and secure its reputation as a true, one-of-a-kind, timeless classic.
About the Author:
Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922 in Minneapolis. In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine’s Day–and the day before his last strip was published–having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand–an unmatched achievement in comics.
