I'm Not Your Sweet Babboo!: A PEANUTS Collection

By Charles M. Schulz

Comic strips starring Linus, Sally, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and more beloved characters—“relevant and funny for all ages generation after generation.” —Good Comics for Kids, a School Library Journal Blog

Everyone’s favorite classic characters are back: Peppermint Patty enrolls in a private school to end her academic troubles—only to discover she’s just graduated from obedience school. Linus finds himself entangled in a love triangle (and stuck on top of a snow-covered roof). And Charlie Brown runs away from the law and becomes a vagrant baseball coach.

 

The Peanuts crew is lovable, popular, and charming, but please, whatever you do, don’t call Linus “My Sweet Babboo”!

Charles M. Schulz

From his earliest memories, Charles M. Schulz knew that all he wanted to do was “draw funny pictures.” Schulz was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1922, and his love for cartoons was fostered by his father in a shared appreciation for the Sunday funnies. As a senior in high school, at the prompting of his mother, he completed a correspondence cartoon course with the Federal School of Applied Cartooning. Schulz continued his studies in art as the genre of the cartoon began to change—adopting simplistic, minimalistic styles that, conveniently, allowed Schulz to showcase his dry, self-effacing humor. In 1943 Schulz enlisted in the army to help the American efforts in World War II, ultimately returning home in the fall of 1945. In a push to make his dream of being a cartoonist a reality, he taught at his alma mater and sold cartoon strips to papers intermittently. Finally, in October 1950, the first Peanuts strip premiered in seven national newspapers. His seemingly simple creation—illustrations of large-headed kids using vocabulary and facing situations far beyond their years—became a well-known, well-loved comic strip and grew to have an enormous global impact. Schulz himself has won awards from his cartoonist peers, has been recognized and lauded by U.S. and foreign governments, and has received Emmys for his animated specials. In 2015 the beloved holiday TV special—A Charlie Brown Christmas—will reach its fifty-year milestone. Though the last original Peanuts comic appeared in papers on February 13, 2000, the day after Schulz passed away in his sleep, his work continues to be read in more than two thousand newspapers around the world.

I don't know why I was browsing Netgalley's "read now" books before I fell asleep last night, but I'm glad I did! I love Snoopy and this is the perfect way to end the year. In this one, we spend a lot of time with Sally as she crushes on her sweet babboo and with Peppermint Patty as she struggles in school. And of course, with that lovable beagle, Snoopy, and his cute little friend, Woodstock, as they fight with the cat next door. A fun way to spend an afternoon for young and old alike!Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC.
