In The Complete Peanuts 1963-64: this volume is particularly rich
in never-before-reprinted strips: Over 150 (more than one fifth of
the book!) have never seen the light of day since their original
appearance over 40 years ago, so this will be a trove of
undiscovered treasures even for avid Peanuts collectors. These
"lost" strips include Linus making a near-successful run for class
president that is ultimately derailed by his religious beliefs (two
words: "great" and "pumpkin"), and Snoopy getting involved with a
group of politically fanatical birds. One wonders: Was it the
political edge in these stories that got them consigned to oblivion
for so long? Also worthy of note is an extended, never-reprinted
sequence in which Snoopy gets ill and heads to the veterinarian
hospital... Also in this volume: Lucy's attempts at improving her
friends branches out from her increasingly well-visited nickel
psychiatry booth to an educational slideshow of Charlie Brown's
faults (it's so long there's an intermission!). Also, Snoopy's
doghouse begins its conceptual expansion, as Schulz reveals that
the dog owns a Van Gogh, and that the ceiling is so huge that Linus
can paint a vast (and as it turns out unappreciated) "history of
civilisation" mural on it.
