Good ol’ Charlie Brown is back!
STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS
This is the second volume of the Complete Peanuts, created by Charles M. Schulz, starting in 1953 and reaching until 1954.
While there aren’t almost any adult in scene, a curious thing is that you can’t understand what they say, instead of the usual “Blah, blah, blah” in more modern strips, where you have to figure it out what they’re saying due what the kids replied about.
And with Snoopy, from time to time, you still are able to read his thoughts and even there a strip where it’s implied that he can “talks”. Also, it’s still not clear of whom Snoopy is, since there is a strip where Paty and Shermy are painting Snoopy’s house and Charlie Brown pass by to see as if he wasn’t Snoopy’s owner at all.
Charlie Brown is in a transition status, where he’s quite cynical and even doing pranks to his friends, along with beginning to go into “adorable looser” mode, where he can’t accomplish to succeed sometimes.
And Shermy is still around, since Linus is still a baby (as I mentioned in the previous review, that it’s quite odd that Linus eventually, I guess in a “magically” way, he’ll become of the same age than Charlie Brown).
ENTER: PIG-PEN & …
In this second volume is introduced the distinctly famous Pig-Pen, which is the kid who is always dirty with a cloud of dust all around him.
It’s not so rare that in the recent “The Peanuts” CGI movie, they made Patty (don’t get confused with Peppermint Patty) has a romantic interest on Pig-Pen, since she was the first one to meet him, in his introductory strip.
Also, there is the introduction of an odd character named “Charlotte Braun” who is not related to good ol’ Charlie Brown, but it’s obvious that she was intended to be like a “female counterpart” to Charlie Brown, but since I never watch her in any TV special or even the CGI movie, I guess that she didn’t remain long in the comic strip. I’ll know for sure when I’d been reading the next volume.
LUCY DISCREETLY GROWIN’ UP
Lucy is still a kindergarten girl, visible shorter than the other kids, and along the volume, while she’s still quite childish in her comments, you will notice about finals strips that she’s already of the same height than the other kids, with more maturish remarks and attitude.
