Peanuts 2002 Day-To-Day Calendar [Box Calendar] [Calendar]

Book Description

Publication Date: July 15, 2001 | Series: Peanuts

How does one explain the staying power of "Peanuts," the comic strip that began quietly in 1950 and became a worldwide phenomenon over the next fifty years? What is so special about Snoopy, a cartoon beagle, that he had been commemorated with a U.S. Postal Service stamp? Why would "Peanuts" creator Charles M. Schulz be awarded a Congressional Gold Medal? Author Derrick Bang explains it this way: "Spend fifteen minutes with a collection of "Peanuts" strips...and you cannot help but be impressed by the shrewd analysis and unpretentious virtue...On top of his perceptive analysis, (Schulz) always leaves us with a giggle." In the Peanuts 2002 Calendar: We All Need A Philosophy, Charlie Brown and his friends dispense Great Truths with their trademark good humor every day of the year. When Linus asks the age-old question: "If you work real hard and you get everything you've always wanted, is it worth it?" Snoopy responds: "Not if your dog doesn't like you." With a philosophy like that, Schulz truly does deserve a medal.

4.0 out of 5 stars a reminder of Schulz's greatness, December 14, 2001

Fans of the Peanuts comic strip won't be disappointed here. Familiar images from the longrunning strip are utilized in this calendar. Nothing is new, but each panel brings a smile of recognition to my face.

Maybe Schulz' genius was that he would be funny, and make a subtle and appropriate point at the same time. And this comic never lost a sense of warmth.

Each strip is funny, and it reminds me of my childhood reading Peanuts in the newspaper. It surely makes a worthwhile purchase as a calendar. I don't mind one bit having my friends Linus, Charlie Brown, and the gang around.

This calendar has 365 strips - one on each day. Some are not reprinted in the regular reprint books meaning this may be the first time for a reprint! The Sunday strips include ALL panels. This is a must for any REAL Peanuts fan.
