It’s Snoopy, what’s not to like.
Snoopy and the gang, Linus Lucy Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty, and all the rest, but mainly Snoopy. In these dark days of Trump, Putin, Xi and all the other dark and nasty people, Snoopy reminds us of the nice silly sweet parts of life. Highly recommended.
Ok, since this is a compilation I’m going to break down each book.
Snoopy the Great Philosopher
In Snoopy the Great Philosopher, Snoopy ponders the many wonders of life, like what is the meaning of life, deep thoughts of friendship, reacting to losing, and many other philosophical thoughts.
Overall it’s a pretty good collection of Peanuts strips.
Snoopy the Legal Beagle
In Snoopy the Legal Beagle, we follow Snoopy’s life as a lawyer. In his first case he represents Peppermint Patty and the case against her over the dress code. Throughout the book he takes on cases over book banning from the school library, the stealing of blankets, and the legality of Ace Obedience School as a proper school for children.
Another great collection of Peanuts strips.
Snoopy the Fitness Fanatic
In Snoopy the Fitness Fanatic, Snoopy takes up exercise and exercise gimmicks. The first series of comics are about his copper bracelets, He tries to get his entire body to get up and go jogging but his feet don’t want to, He tries to help Peppermint Patty feel better and he trips over his food dish and breaks his leg.
Snoopy the Master Chef
In Snoopy the Master Chef, it’s not really about Snoopy being a Chef but eating a lot. Charlie Brown is the chef and bringing out Snoopy’s dinner with bows on top, new kinds of desserts, new recipes, and being late. Lots of comics about being late.
Snoopy the Fearless Leader
In this collection of Snoopy comics we find Snoopy leading his Beagle Scouts on many hikes and off to rescue his brother Spike who is being attacked by coyotes, Snoopy is also used by Lucy to bully other kids on playground, Harriet joins the Beagle Scouts and many more story lines.
Oddly enough this collection doesn’t seem to have the duplicate comics that the solo book does as noted in my above linked review.
Snoopy the Great Entertainer
In this collection of Snoopy cartoons he is entertaining the kids with his “pawpet” shows. For me this collection just didn’t hit the right notes for me. I found it to be okay at best. I still enjoyed it, but not as much as some of the other collections.
Snoopy the Literary Ace
In this collection of Snoopy comics, it’s most all about Snoopy writing his stories and getting turned down by publishers, magazines and even his mom. If you’re an author then I’m sure you’re familiar with this rejection, so this might fall under Horror for you instead of Humor.
However I found the comics to be chuckle-worthy and well worth reading.
Snoopy the Matchmaker
In this collection of comics, it’s all about love and friendship. Snoopy falls in love with a human girl and competes with Linus for her love. He also falls in love with a Beagle but loses her to his Brother Spike. He also falls in love with Coyote.
Again another good solid collection of Peanuts cartoons.
Overall
Well, this collection is a great collection of 8 of the smaller collections. I was lucky and got this on sale for $3.99, at it’s normal price of over $30 it’s a much harder bargain. I think I would prefer to collect the 20+ volumes that collect every single Peanuts cartoon rather than this sampling of only Snoopy comics.
