The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970 (Vol. 10)

The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970 (Vol. 10)

In an era of social upheaval, Peppermint Patty encounters footwear oppression; Lucy declares herself a "New Feminist"; a tear gas-stained riot erupts at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm; and Snoopy's bird friend gains a name: Woodstock!
He turns up first as Snoopyâ€™s secretary, then gradually becomes a good friend whom Snoopy helps to fly South... but itâ€™s not until June 22, 1970 that the little bird gains a name, in a perfect salute to the decade that ends with this volume: Woodstock! In other timely stories, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her schoolâ€™s dress code (those sandals!), Lucy declares herself a â€œNew Feminist,â€ and Snoopyâ€™s return to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking engagement climaxes in a riot and a new love found amidst the teargas (â€œShe had the softest paws...â€). Speaking of Snoopy, this volume falls under the sign of the Great Beagle, as three separate storylines focus on the mysterious sovereign of Beagledom. First Snoopy is summoned by a wrathful G.B. when Frieda submits a complaint about his (Snoopyâ€™s) desultory rabbit-chasing efforts; then, back in the Great oneâ€™s good graces, Snoopy is sent on a secret mission; and finally he himself ascends (briefly!) to the mantle of Great Beagledom.

In other news, an exasperated Lucy throws Schroederâ€™s piano into the maw of the kite-eating tree, with gruesome results... Miss Othmar goes on strike and Linus gets involved... Charlie Brownâ€™s baseball team has an actual (brief) winning streak... Snoopyâ€™s quest to compete in the Oakland ice skating competition is thwarted by his inability to find a partner... Charlie Brown goes to a banquet to meet his hapless baseball hero Joe Shlabotnik... Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt familyâ€™s care as Charlie and Sally Brown head out of town for a vacation... and (alas) the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away...

This volume also features a new introduction by renowned illustrator Mo Willems and, as always, gorgeous design by award-winning cartoonist Seth. 730 black-and-white comic strips
