The Complete Peanuts 1950-1952 by Charles M. Schulz
Buchbesprechung auf Deutsch
Band 1 der wunderbaren Gesamtausgabe der Peanuts-Comic Strips von Charles M. Schulz (erschienen bei Fantagraphics Books) beinhaltet die Jahre 1950 bis 1952. Am Schluss dieses Bandes findet der Leser noch einen Essay über Charles M. Schulz und ein ausführliches Interview mit dem Zeichner aus dem Jahr 1987.
Im Oktober 1950 also startet Charles M. Schulz seine Peanuts-Serie und bringt seine drolligen, großköpfigen Charaktere von nun an täglich auf das Zeitungspapier. Feinsinnig liefert er immer wieder neue Variationen der gleichen Themen ab und der Leser muss vielleicht auch öfters an sein eigenes, auch nicht immer perfektes, Leben denken und dabei schmunzeln. | © Elmar Driver

Book review in English
Volume 1 of this amazing complete edition of the comic strips by Charles M. Schulz (published by Fantagraphics Books) is about the years 1950-1952. At the end of this first volume the reader also finds an essay about Charles M. Schulz and a detailed interview with this illustrator from the year 1987.
In October 1950 Charles M. Schulz had started his amazing Peanuts comic strips. Since then, his funny and big-headed characters appeared in the newspaper daily. In a subtle manner again and again he shows so many new variations of the same topics. And several times the reader probably might think about his own, also not perfect, life and he might smile about it then. | © Elmar Driver

I followed the Peanuts strip for many years. It often made me smile when things were grim in my own life.

i met the guy who has taken over drawing the syndicate. what an overbearing asshole he is. not like schulz. he rides his bike around venice beach everyday.... bleached blond.... hot shit. (that's an american expression for 'thinks he is great'.)
no, i would like to tell him, he's just a copyist. oh well...
at least you gave me the opportunity to complain about his repulsive egomania.
my favorite is when charlie picks a flower off a tree.... lucy says, "you shouldn't do that." charlie asks, "why not?"
lucy... "what if everbody does that? then there will be no flowers."
charlie brown counters with, "yeah, but everybody doesn't"
