Peanuts: Friends Forever

I just received Peanuts: Friends Forever, the newest in Ballantine’s square reprint books. Like most of this series, it has the strips in color (taken from the recent newspaper reprints), with three dailies or one Sunday on each of the book’s 148 pages of strips. That means hundreds of strips, all from 1965-1967, so you get pre-Marcy Peppermint Patty, Sally with an eyepatch, Linus blanket attacking Lucy, a measles shot, and many good examples of the usual tropes. Good stuff to be had!
