Publisher Description In The Complete Peanuts 1963-1964 "My name is 555 95472 but everyone calls me 5 for short... I havetwo sisters named 3 and 4." With those words, Charles Schulz introducedone (in fact, three) of the quirkiest characters to the Peanutsuniverse, the numerically-monikered 95472 siblings. They didn't stay around very long but offered some choice bits of satirical nonsensewhile they did. As it happens, this volume is particularly rich in never-before-reprinted strips: Over 150 (more than one-fifth of thebook ) have never seen the light of day since their original appearanceover 40 years ago, so this will be a trove of undiscovered treasures even for avid Peanuts collectors. These "lost" strips includeLinus making a near-successful run for class president that is ultimately derailed by his religious beliefs (two words: "great" and"pumpkin"), and Snoopy getting involved with a group of politicallyfanatical birds. Also in this volume: Lucy's attempts at improving herfriends branches out from her increasingly well-visited nickel psychiatry booth to an educational slideshow of Charlie Brown's faults(it's so long there's an intermission ). Also, Snoopy's doghouse beginsits conceptual expansion, as Schulz reveals that the dog owns a VanGogh, and that the ceiling is so huge that Linus can paint a vast (andas it turns out unappreciated) "history of civilization" mural on it.Introduction by Bill Melendez, animator of all the Peanuts TV specials starting all the way back with A Charlie Brown Christmas In The Complete Peanuts 1965-1966 We are now in the mid-1960s, one of Schulz's peak periods of creativity(and one third of the way through the strip's life ). Snoopy has becomethe strip's dominant personality, and this volume marks two milestonesfor the character: the first of many "dogfights" with the nefarious RedBaron, and the launch of his writing career ("It was a dark and stormynight..."). Two new characters the first two from outside the strip'sregular little neighborhood make their bows. Roy (who befriendsCharlie Brown and then Linus at summer camp) won't have a lastingimpact, but upon his return from camp he regales a friend of his withtales of the strange kids he met, and she has to go check them out forherself. Her name? Peppermint Patty. Introduction by film director and writer Hal Hartley (Flirt, Amateur). Author Biography Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922 in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).
