The Complete Peanuts 1965-1966 by Charles M. Schulz

4.0

This collects Peanuts strips from 1965 and 1966. This is at or near the strip's prime. I hesitate to say Prime because Marcie hasn't been introduced yet but it contains the first Snoopy as a WWI ace, first Peppermint Pattie, and last appearance of Violet before her parents join the Cult of Cthulhu. I may have made that last one up.

Linus, Lucy, and Sally get a lot of time. Sally wears an eyepatch for a good portion of the book. She is just starting to see Linus as her future husband but isn't calling him her Sweet Babboo yet. Lucy is Lucy and Linus is still spreading the gospel of the Great Pumpkin. Charlie Brown is still a loser but has more agency than he does in later books.

I'd say this would be a great read for anyone who wants a look at the Peanuts before they started selling insurance. 4 out of 5 stars.
