The Complete Peanuts 1979-1980 includes a number of classic storylines, including the month-long sequence in which an ill Charlie Brown is hospitalized (including a particularly spooky moment when he wonders if he's died and nobody's told him yet), and an especially eventful trek with Snoopy, Woodstock, and the scout troop (now including a little girl bird, Harriet). And Snoopy is still trying on identities left and right, including the "world-famous surveyor," the "world-famous census taker," and Blackjack Snoopy, the riverboat gambler.

About the Author

Broadcaster Al Roker is the weather anchor on NBC's The Today Show and co-host of Wake Up with Al on The Weather Channel. He is the author of several books: Al Roker's Big Bad Book of Barbecue, Al Roker's Hassle-Free Holiday Cookbook, Big Shoes: In Celebration of Dads and Fatherhood, Don't Make Me Stop this Car: Adventures in Fatherhood, and two murder mysteries, The Morning Show Murders and The Midnight Show Murders.

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). His ambition from a young age was to be a cartoonist and his first success was selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post between 1948 and 1950. He also sold a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.

He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates and in the spring of 1950, United Feature Syndicate expressed interest in Li'l Folks. They bought the strip, renaming it Peanuts, a title Schulz always loathed. The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952. Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day-and the day before his last strip was published, having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand ― an unmatched achievement in comics.

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).

In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It Or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post—as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.

He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts—and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate). The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.

Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day—and the day before his last strip was published—having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand—an unmatched achievement in comics.

The Complete Peanuts, Vol 15, 1979-1980 continues the long march to get these daily panels into the hands of fans and collectors. Volume 15 is a fitting continuation to the process. Where were you in 1979 and 1980? As you read these strips perhaps you'll recall a part of your life that may have gotten away from you. If not, these panels are worth the trip alone.

Charles Schulz was a genius. By 1979 most of the story line and characters had been established. In this volume Snoopy continues to explore various personas and it is fun to watch the process. Charlie Brown spends some time in the hospital and a new bird, a girl, Harriet, is introduced.

Even if you didn't read the Peanuts dailies as they were published, it is not too late to become a fan.

I highly recommend The Complete Peanuts, 1979-1980.

5.0 out of 5 stars Running Out of Superlatives

Every six months or so for a number of years now, a new volume in The Complete Peanuts series arrives at my door. It is a constant bright spot.

However, as I try to review these volumes, I am running out of superlatives. So much so, that I fear I am straining to come up with something clever and my meaning is getting lost. So, this time, let me just say that volume--with its many stories of Peppermint Patty & Snoopy out with his bird scouts and angel food cake with seven minute frosting--is wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Into the eighties with Charlie Brown

Another volume in the series that collects the classic newspaper cartoon Peanuts. Featuring Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus etc.

As ever: this is a hardback volume. Running just over three hundred and thirteen pages. It has an introduction from a famous fan of the cartoon. In this case Al Roker.

It ends with an index of the volume. And the same two page biography of Charles Schulz who created Peanuts that is in every one of these.

This one has all the cartoons for 1979 and 1980. With as ever three daily ones on a single page and a full page for the longer sunday ones.

The quality is as good as ever in the writing, and a fair few did make me laugh out loud. We do get two really good long storylines in this. One where Charlie Brown ends up in hospital as he's not well and his friends react to that. Also one where Snoopy and the Beagle scouts get lost. Things escalate wildly.

Character wise Violet has now gone. Patty is just seen once. But there's a bit more Pig Pen than in the last few. Surprisingly little of Rerun who just pops up twice. Eudora who was introduced in the previous volume appears a few times and is great as she is a very good foil for Sally.

There's also more of the World War one flying ace than in the last few as well. And even one or two sightings of Joe Cool. New beagle scout Harriet is also a memorable creation.

It's the same as every time. It's another great volume in a great series that saves these classic cartoons forever. I love having them on my shelves.
