Omschrijving
Charlie Brown on the baseball mound. Lucy pulling away the football.
Woodstock driving a Zamboni. Snoopy’s side-hustle tennis career.
Charles M. Schulz, creator of the most beloved comic strip of all time,
saw sports as an essential part of American society, and an endless
inspiration for both simple fun and opportunities to reveal and test character... just
as they are in real life. The comic strips that resulted are some of the most iconic
images in comics history!
Gathered here in a gorgeous four-book hardcover box set are the best of Schulz’s
sporting-themed strips and sequences, compiled from over fifty years of daily Peanuts
cartoons. Themed volumes compile the works pastime by pastime — baseball
of course, but football, golf, tennis, basketball, ice skating and hockey are all represented
among the four volumes. Team celebrations, personal struggles, solidarity in
defeat, joy in play, and pure whimsy — the Peanuts cast of children (plus a dog and
a bird) experience them across these 800 pages, more than a few of which ask that
age old question: will Lucy ever let Charlie kick that football?
The perfect gift set for the classic comics fan who loves sports, the sports fan
who loves Peanuts... or who doesn’t yet know that they do. Just in time for summer
and Father’s Day — play ball!
