All this  and \"Happiness is a warm puppy.\" Nearly 200 rare or unseen strips! Introduction by Whoopi Goldberg. As the first decade of Peanuts closes  it seems only fitting to bid farewell to that halcyon decade with a cover starring Patty  one of the original three Peanuts. Major new additions to classic Peanuts lore come fast and furious here. Snoopy begins to take up residence atop his doghouse  and his repertoire of impressions increases exponentially. Lucy sets up her booth and offers her first five-cent psychiatric counsel. (Her advice to a forlorn Charlie Brown: \"Get over it.\") For the very first time  Linus spends all night in the pumpkin patch on his lonely vigil for the Great Pumpkin (although he laments that he was a victim of \"false doctrine \" hes back 12 months later). Linus also gets into repeated  and visually explosive  scuffles with a blanket-stealing Snoopy  suffers the first depredations of his blanket-hating grandmother  and falls in love with his new teacher Miss Othmar. Even more importantly  several years after the last addition to the cast (\"Pig-Pen\")  Charlie Browns sister Sally makes her appearancefirst as an (off-panel) brand new baby for Charlie to gush over  then as a toddler and eventually a real  talking  thinking cast member. (By the end of this volume  shell already start developing her crush on Linus.) All this  and one of the most famous Peanuts strips ever: \"Happiness is a warm puppy.\" Almost one hundred of the 731 strips collected in this volume (including many Sundays) have never been collected in any book since their original release  with one hundred more having been collected only once in relatively obscure and now impossible-to-find books; in other words  close to one quarter of the strips have never been seen by anyone but the most avid Peanuts completists.  The introduction is by comedienne extraordinaire Whoopi Goldberg  who reveals which Peanuts character she has tattooed on her body (and where)as well as telling of her meeting with \"Sparky\" Schulz  and her fascinating theory on Snoopys brother Spike. As always  this volume is gorgeously designed by award-winning cartoonist Seth. The Complete Peanuts continues to receive national and international media attention for its sophisticated treatment of one of the 20th Centurys defining American classics.
