The Complete Peanuts 1971 to 1972

THE COMPLETE PEANUTS 1971 TO 1972 by Charles M. Schulz
Two things in this 11th installment mark the beginning of a downward slope for Charles Schulz’ masterpiece: The absence of Shermy and the birth of Rerun. Seth’s dour cover designs are also beginning to look overly austere on my shelves. Why aren’t the spines yellow with alternating black zig-zags? Hm?

Well, I've kept up with them and the strips do indeed ebb and flow, but it's still great stuff. Agree 100% on Seth's mopey-assed designs, though. He was a terrible choice. Terrible!!!
