"The world of Peanuts is a microcosm, a little human comedy for the innocent reader and for the sophisticated."Umberto EcoThe third volume of the acclaimed Complete Peanuts series includes such landmarks as Linus's first spoken words, Charlie Brown's first baseball humiliation, and a hilarious series of impressions by an ever-more-Snoopyish Snoopy. All this and "Pig-Pen," too!Even the most devoted Peanuts fans will find many "new" episodes to enjoy, as over half the strips in this volume have never been collected since their original appearance in newspapers a half a century ago!
