So this exists now.
Does /co/ even have any thoughts on Zombie Peanuts/Little Folks
I can Storytime it if requested but my interenet's being choppy so I don't know how reliable I'll be.
Fuck it, may as well start now
looks like my IP's changing itself lol
I havn't read it myself yet btw
A lot of these pages seem unneccassary.
cute tho
This was too big for 4chin so I had to reduce quality
why is this tome "Zombie Peanut"? What makes them so bad?
and finally: the strip
>>82709359
Bad is subjective. but a fair few people think it should have ended after the 50's/60's. Especially at the time.
>>82709359
>>82709359
Also at this point Shulz himself was arguably a Zombie
>>82709219
Thanks Obama.
>>82709614
I wonder how much they paid him for those five of the most generic paragraphs.
also

>>82709219
THANKS, OBAMA.
>>82709462
No way man, 70s and 80s peanuts were awesome. Different but still really solid.
>>82709800
Perfect replication of modern art imo
>>82709485
>the umbrella was the wrong color
I chuckled.
>>82709826
1999 is better than I expected so far
>Lucy wearing pants
Just feels weird
>>82709196
They're made to look fancy in the physical book. Not so much in a digital release.
>>82710015
To think she'd been wearing them for decades at this point.
I remember they released this final year as its own volume a long time ago, with the title "Peanuts 2000" or something. Had it when I was a kid, each one of these has been familiar so far.
>>82710284
Is that so? I guess I must have stopped reading peanuts at a certain time period.
>>82710520
I don't know when she first wore them, but they were slowly phased in through the 70's and 80's
>>82709925
90's Peanuts is probably the worst decade of Peanuts, but it never gets bad. It's just not as good as it was.
I'd say 90's Peanuts is an above average comic strip, which is a large fall from the amazing 60's and 70's strips but still a good deal better then most strips at the time.
>>82708759
Do you have a link to download this and other volumes? Thanks for sharing.
>>82711112
how were the 80s in your opinion?
>>82711112
90's Peanuts devolved into "Gosh, Rerun is pretty stupid: the comic strip" in my opinion. Just about every other strip had him in it, and wouldn't surprise me if a tally was made that had him be almost equal or surpassing Chuck in the final years.
There's a kat torrent for the other 24 that's still up
I was too impatient to wait for this one to be added so I just googled it
horray! i can post again!
>>82711568
cool thanks for the heads up, last I checked they only had the low quality scans.
>>82711568
>>82711304
>>82711696
make sure you pick the The one that says the complete peanuts. That's even higher quality than these somehow
alternatively, sticking these together should work

The new Peanuts movie made me smile inside and out.
That's all I wanted to say.
>>82712031
Me too.
I grew up on Peanuts. I grew up throughout the 90s when it was still in the newspapers, and my mom had a bunch of old collections from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
It was so nice to see Charlie Brown WIN, in the end. I was actually crying at the end because he FINALLY won. After all that time and all those years being a loser, he won. He got the girl. It was fantastic.
>>82712160
Did he win though? No kiss, no handshake just a "you're a nice guy, Charlie Brown"
>>82712160
It wasn't even that he "won" or not.
It just reminded me why Charlie Brown was special. Why people actually hung out with him even though he was quite clearly a loser. He always tried and was honest. Yeah, he was dull, but he was reliable and wasn't a dick. And that's comforting to me.
>>82708759
>THE COMPLETE PEANUTS
>1999 to 2000 hidden in the corner
This feels like false advertising.
>>82712679
half of the book is Li'l Folks too
>>82713369
I thought those clouds looked like hearts in the thumbnail
Thanks for this, OP.
>>82709049
thank you, anon
>>82714087
>>82714136
opps, missed one
>>82709049
thank you OP
I guess I don't like Peanuts. But thanks anyway OP.
>>82714464
It's not for everyone, especially this late on
>>82714136
Even in the final year he couldn't catch a break.
>>82714781
Soft chuckle.
>>82712441
Is that third comic from Farside?
>>82714960
no idea
>>82708759
To this day it still bothers me that Schulz passed away merely months before the series could've hit 50 years.
>>82708759
I had to stock a shitton of these at work yesterday. Didn't have enough time to go through any but it looked nice.
>>82715184
he'd still have to last anouther 8 months
>>82711427
Still pissed that there's no resolution on Andy and Olaf
I've never read Peanuts extensively but I loved all the shorts and new movie. I did grow up with them, but I learned more toward Calvin & Hobbes myself. Are these book a good purchase? I've thought about picking a bunch up slowly over the next few years.
>>82715800
Yes. The 60s were the series' heyday, but it kept up a pretty consistent quality through the 70's, and 80's. The 90's was when it started dropping in quality but it never became actually bad.
>>82715800
they seem more like a display item to me than anything, though you do get a good amount of comics if that's what you want, and they're all the highest quality you'll find.
With that in mind the first one's the classiest to own.
>>82716145
Harry Potter getting name dropped feels wierd
>>82716167
Stupid sexy Snoopy
>>82716215
Feels weird as fuck indeed.
>>82715800
There's been a ton of different books released over the years. If you don't want to splurge the money on these hardcovers, you should be able to still find cheaper alternatives.
Look up a book called Peanuts: A Golden Celebration. It's a big hardcover best of book that contains selected strips from the entire 50 year run and it seems to only cost a few dollars on Amazon.
If you enjoyed the tv specials, you'll enjoy the comic strip. It's pretty much the same thing.
last christmas
>>82716769
Strips around this time have a melancholy feel since it's only a short time until their universe is ended and none of them are even aware of their impending doom.
dawn of the final year
>>82716866
I didn't know this strip was so late.
>>82716918
>I didn't know this strip was so late.
Schulz was very ill at that time
>>82716941
Oh god. This strip wasn't drawn as well. The end is near.
>>82716960
did he just not make any daylies for 2000?
>>82717007
The Sundays were probably done ahead of time before he got too ill to work. Most comics are done several weeks to months in advance of their publication date.
>deeze lines
>deeze signatures
>>82716960
>>82717051
This daily strip announcing his retirement was printed on January 3rd. The next day, they started reprinting strips from the 70's.
>>82717111
This is quickly becoming one of the most depressing storytimes of all time.
>>82717007
Sunday comics (due to the added color) were made months in advanced. The dailies are made weeks in advance.
It's conceivable that Schultz got sick and couldn't do any more comics for a bit but they still continued to print the backlog of Sundays he had.
Enjoy your retirement
>>82717134
way to spoil the ending
>>82717201
Fuck, why is it raining in my apartment?
>>82717201
>Died mere hours before the final strip was printed
That is the most gut wrenching thing I have ever seen.
>this was the last we saw of Peppermint Patty
Welp, there's still this
>>82717678
Ugh. Welp, just fuck our shit up, OP.
>>82717728
Are you kidding me? I can't even ...
>>82716651
>>82715800
The Fantographic TPBs are your main bet as they have become the defacto version of the series on the market and all previous versions going OOP save for a couple of random anthology type books for holidays and Hallmark stores.
There are a bunch of good anthology books that collect random strips over the years. Also, there are the Fawcett Comics collections, which (with some major gaps of uncollected strips, especially in the first 10 years of the series) collect just about everything from 1950-1989.
Fawcett did big collection books, which they then split up into a huge number of mass market paperback novel size collections. A lot of those paperback novel sized books were later re-released as hardcover paperbacks, with an eye towards selling them to elementary schools and libraries on the notion that they would become evergreen titles that would not get destroyed by way of constant handling by kids.
The Fawcett big collections can go for decent bucks but the paperbacks (and hardcover counterparts) can go cheap if you can find them
Is he overdoing the baby talk, or is this how everyone spoke in 1947?
>>82717921
Probably both.
Broadband's going heywire
>>82716918
Their last appearance.
>"Yes, sir... we had fun..."
>>82717168
The lack of color really isn't kind to this one.
>>82718273
I'm going to assume all the little images were added by the paper
