In Charles Schulz's The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970, Woodstock makes his first appearance, Peppermint Patty runs afoul of her school's dress code, Lucy declares herself a "New Feminist," and Snoopy returns to the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm on a speaking engagement. Speaking of Snoopy, this volume falls under the sign of the Great Beagle, as three separate storylines focus on the mysterious sovereign of Beagledom. Lucy throws Schroeder's piano into the maw of the kite-eating tree, with gruesome results... Miss Othmar goes on strike and Linus gets involved... Charlie Brown's baseball team has an actual (brief) winning streak... Snoopy's quest to compete in the Oakland ice skating competition is thwarted by his inability to find a partner... Charlie Brown goes to a banquet to meet his hapless baseball hero Joe Shlabotnik... Snoopy is left in the Van Pelt family's care as the Browns vacation... and the Little Red-Haired Girl moves away.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: The book was just as advertised. It is cover to cover Peanuts comic strips and is a well constructed hard back book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Funny as ever
Comment: I've read every Volume since they started this series. Inside ther's the same small, great strips I've smiled about the volumes before. The wonder is that although Mr. Schulz wrote for such a long time, he nearly never repeated his jokes and after 38 Years they didn't sound old fashioned.
Clearly you have to be fan if you buy the whole series. But this book is (as every other) great fun and worth every page.

Summary: A "must-have" for collectors of Charles Schulz's work
Comment: The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970 is the latest in a compendium that seeks to present Charles Schulz's classic Peanuts comic strip as never before - complete and unabridged! Featuring an introduction by Mo Willems, the latest volume gives Woodstock a name for the first time, shows Snoopy's ultimately disastrous stint as the Head Beagle, chronicles Charlie Brown's heartbreak when the little red-haired girl moves away, offers a fascinating extended glimpse into the text of Snoopy's "It was a dark and stormy night" novel, and much more. One sequence particularly reflective of the stormy 1960s shows poor Snoopy caught in the middle of a riot with tear gas at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm! A "must-have" for collectors of Charles Schulz's work, highly recommended.

Comment:
The Complete Peanuts: 1969-1970
My dear readers:
Dear me. Where has the time gone? It seems just like yesterday that the first Complete Peanuts arrived, and the world re-discovered the world of Peanuts in a special kind of way.
Since then, we have been witness to historical events as seen through the eyes of Linus, Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, Chuck, Woodstock, Lucy, and Snoopy. The Red Baron made his appearance recently. I hope he comes back soon.
This time, we are privy to the dramatic exclamation of Lucy. "THIS IS MY YEAR!". We witness Snoopy and Peppermint Patty glide along gracefully on a pond of ice in preparation for their world tour. Lu cy throws a piano tantrum in her efforts to get LInus' attention...and a pianovoric tree appears. Snoopy introduces us to the exotic world of the "I'm Too Stupid to know the difference Dance' (and other favorites). Yes, the beloved Red Baron does return to the skies to fight another day. Snoopy begins his great novel (It was a dark and stormy night...) There are so many special times in this book, I can scarce put it down for fear of losing my place...Ah, just a few more minutes to soak up the world that Sparky created, just a few more pages and I will put this book down.
Who am I kidding?
(long pause)
I write these words with a light heart. Another two years have gone by, and now I wait again for my Peanuts to reappear. When my grand-son comes over, we will sit together, he and I. He will ask me to read my favorite book, and the Peanuts journey will begin once again.

Summary: Last of the golden decade
Comment: Many memorable stories here:Snoopy on the moon, Lucy feeds Schroeder's piano to the kite-eating tree, the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm scenario of a protest against that stupidest war, Vietnam Bloody War. Alas, from now on the Peanuts Gang shall be progressively more neglected in favour of Snoopy's fancy impersonations and his little bird's friend, Woodstock. Frieda gone, Shermy gone, and scarcely a story that doesn't involve Snoopy and/or Woodstock. But this is still a good book, with many goldies and oldies.
