What I find interesting is how different two books designed to be basically the same can be. They both reprint strips in the same format, generally one daily strip on a page. But the strip selection &#8211; the\u00a0<em>Great Pumpkin<\/em> book focuses solely on reprinting strips from the 1950s and 1960s, with later strips only used for blowing up large for decorative purposes. The\u00a0<em>Thanksgiving<\/em> book is made up I believe only of post-1960s strips. The Great Pumpkin book, focused on a particular (great) trope, does get a bit repetitive, as Schulz reintroduced the Great Pumpkin concept each year he used it, while Thanksgiving, not grounded in any specific Schulz invention, has less redundancy (perhaps a bit on the subject of Woodstock surviving the holiday.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/AAUGH.com\/to.htm?1606997726\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/ecx.images-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51DP4prUs%2BL._SX250_PT180_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a>Both are still fairly nice little books.
