Essentially,
this is the best of
the best 50 years of Peanuts, the comic strip by the late Charles
Schulz
featuring Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, Snoopy, and the rest of the
beguiling
little gang. Peanuts debuted in 1950 and became a global phenomenon,
with
book collections selling more than 300 million copies in 26 languages
and
television specials rerun year after year. To create this all-new Peanuts
Guide to Life we've combed
through decades of comic strips to
find
those single panels which contain such pithy observations as
"Babysitters
are like used cars. You never know what you're going to get," and bits
of wisdom like "Never lick ice cream off a hot sidewalk." Each droll,
stand-alone
"speech bubble" or punchline appears with cartoon art. The panels are
organized
into short chapters, such as "Love" and "Life's Little Quirks." For the
millions of faithful Peanuts fans, this is a collection of "greatest
hits"
to cherish and enjoy again and again.
