It’s been a few weeks since there’s been a post here by me. Part of that has been because of a relative lack of news I can report, more of it has probably been a personal life that’s a bit full – my second child was born a couple days after my last post. Young Ben has indeed kept me distracted.
The main piece of Peanuts news that I have to report is that The Complete Peanuts 1973-1974, the twelfth volume in the series, is now shipping, slipping out a couple weeks before it was scheduled. The boxed set covering 1971-1974 hasn’t shipped yet, but should shortly. The new volume has a reasonably good intro by Billie Jean King. More importantly, it’s got plenty of fine strips. Rerun sees the light of day – and joins the baseball team. A piano gets thrown in a sewer. But perhaps most importantly, Charlie BRown starts seeing baseballs everywhere… and this somehow leads to him being powerful and respected, in the famed Mister Sack storyline.
Lucy considers getting her ears piereced, Sally comes to believe that there is no tomorrow, and one of the gang joins in on the campus craze of the day – streaking!
