About the Author
Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google). His ambition from a young age was to be a cartoonist and his first success was selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post between 1948 and 1950. He also sold a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.
He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates and in the spring of 1950, United Feature Syndicate expressed interest in Li'l Folks. They bought the strip, renaming it Peanuts, a title Schulz always loathed. The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952. Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day-and the day before his last strip was published, having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand ― an unmatched achievement in comics.
Robert Smigel is an American actor, humorist, comedian and writer known for his Saturday Night Live "TV Funhouse" cartoon shorts and as the puppeteer and voice behind Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog. He lives in NY.

About the author
Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922 in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).
In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It Or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post—as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.
He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts—and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate). The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.
Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day—and the day before his last strip was published—having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand—an unmatched achievement in comics.

One of the fascinations of this whole series is how reading the strips volume by volume can transport me back in time. Early on, Charles Schulz really didn't comment much of the American culture of the time with the exception of sports references here and there. At this point in his career, Schulz is including lots of little observations about life as we knew it at the time. For example, in Volume 13, reference is made to the "pet rock" and the "mood ring" both of which were huge cultural phenomenon at the time. Also the love affair Americans had with tennis is demonstrated throughout this volume. However, the decline in morals, which had started at this time isn't mentioned.
The characters continue their development under our watchful eyes. Charlie Brown is even more insecure than before if you can believe that.
I am constantly taken back to what I was doing when these particular panels were appearing in the daily paper. Thank you Charles Schulz for the stroll down memory lane and for creating these tidbits of sanity and silliness for us.
I highly recommend.
Anyone who follows my reviews knows how much I love the Peanuts comic strips. The appearance of this series, which will ultimately bring together all the daily strips, is amazing. I encourage anyone who loves the series as I do to check out these books.
It's a must have book not only for the fans but also for the ones that really appreciate a very good art. Let's wait for the next half.

Children friendly.
Been collecting these volumes for sometime now, and this is the 14th one.
My kids (11 and 7) adore Peanuts, and their love for Peanuts gang has left most of the books coverless! It pains me to see the books without their front and back hard boards!!!😃
If you haven't yet gotten yourself acquainted with the gang, get one, you won't be disappointed. And you'll know why it is the world's most favorite comic strip!!
