Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Peanuts reaches the middle of the go-go 1980s in this book, which covers 1985 and 1986: a time of hanging out at the mall, 'punkers' (you haven't lived until you've seen Snoopy with a Mohawk), killer bees, airbags, and Halley's Comet. And in a surprisingly sharp satirical sequence, Schulz pokes fun at runaway licensing, with the introduction of the insufferably merchandisable 'Tapioca Pudding.' Also in this volume: Peppermint Patty wins the 'All-City School Essay Contest' with her 'What I Did During Christmas Vacation' essay, but snatches defeat from the jaws of victory with a disastrous acceptance speech.

The World War One Flying Ace gets the flu and is nursed back to health by a French Mademoiselle (Marcie). Sally gives Santa Claus a heart attack (literally!). Lucy talks Charlie Brown into posing in swim-trunks for their school's 'Swimsuit issue'. Peppermint Patty gains a crabby tutor.

It's another two years of hilarious, heartwarming strips from the great Charles M. Schulz.…

When they return to America, Wash Tubbs' pet swink draws huge crowds and a reputation for being worth a million dollars. Then Wash and Easy travel to Peru to rescue an American lost in the jungle and, in the cover-featured story, Easy goes deep sea diving in search of a beautiful girl's lost diamond.…
