Narration Conducive To Books The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 3: 1955-1956 (The Complete Peanuts #3)
The third volume in our acclaimed series takes us into the mid-1950s as Linus learns to talk, Snoopy begins to explore his eccentricities (including his hilarious first series of impressions), Lucy's unrequited crush on Schroeder takes final shape, and Charlie Brown becomes...well, even more Charlie Brown-ish! Over half of the strips in this volume have never been printed since their original appearance in newspapers a half-century ago! Even the most dedicated Peanuts collector/fan is sure to find many new treasures. The Complete Peanuts will run 25 volumes, collecting two years chronologically at a rate of two a year for twelve years. Each volume is designed by the award-winning cartoonist Seth (It's a Good Life If You Don't Weaken) and features impeccable production values; every single strip from Charles M. Schulz's 50-year American classic is reproduced better than ever before. This volume includes an introduction by Matt Groening (The Simpsons) as well as the popular Complete Peanuts index, a hit with librarians and collectors alike, and an epilogue by series editor Gary Groth. 2005 Eisner Award winner, Best Archival Collection/Project.Itemize Regarding Books The Complete Peanuts, Vol. 3: 1955-1956 (The Complete Peanuts #3)

Reminiscing back from my childhood days, I was a peculiar little kid who particularly didn't fit in with most of the other kids. I was quite reclusive and kept most of my thoughts and feelings to myself. I often collected a lot of Peanuts comic strips from broadsheets delivered at home. I would then cut it out and paste it inside a large planner and hide it for safekeeping. Fast forward to the present, I still think of those memories why my silly, little self would collect such things... now, ISnoopy's impressions are the highlight of this one. Linus is starting to get more complex as a character.
Snoopy's Snoopy, we get the first football kick, the tree eats kites, etc. Schulz is finding the iconic elements of the strip, though there are still occasional odd elements (Snoopy actually talks once or twice, we hear an adult's voice once). Many, many hilarious strips; one forgets how good Schulz was at sight gags.
Snoopy starts to pretend; Linus learns how to walk and gets his security blanket; Lucy pulls the ball out from Charlie Brown for what appears to be the first time. It all begins here. I find it fun reading where things I am familiar with growing up happened for the first time. If you enjoy Peanuts, you'll enjoy this book.
I LIKE THIS BOOK
Peanuts really starts to develop at this stage - you can see the very early part of Snoopy becoming the character he eventually does. The rest of the gang are starting to build their distinguishing traits: Lucy, Linus, Shroeder. The next volume looks to be interesting. I'm wondering when I will start to have the ah-ha! Moments of recognition from the Scholastic books? This far, it all seems unfamiliar - but very cool. Only about 44 years more of strips to read!
