"My name is 555 95472 but everyone calls me 5 for short... I have
two sisters named 3 and 4." With those words, Charles Schulz
introduced one (in fact, three) of the quirkiest characters to the
Peanuts universe, the numerically-monikered 95472 siblings. They
didn't stay around very long but offered some choice bits of
satirical nonsense while they did. As it happens, 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. 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 civilization" mural
on it. Introduction by Bill Melendez, animator of all the Peanuts
TV specials starting all the way back with A Charlie Brown
Christmas Designed by the award-winning cartoonist Seth.
