The Complete Peanuts 1985-1986, Vol. 18

In this volume, the â€™80s are in full swing while the Peanuts crew deals with camp, Santa Claus, and the runaway merchandising of â€œTapioca Pudding.â€
Peanuts reaches the middle of the go-go 1980s in this book, which covers 1985 and 1986: a time of hanging out at the mall, â€œpunkersâ€ (you havenâ€™t lived until youâ€™ve seen Snoopy with a Mohawk), killer bees, airbags, and Halleyâ€™s Comet. And in a surprisingly sharp satirical sequence, Schulz pokes fun at runaway licensing, with the introduction of the insufferably merchandisable â€œTapioca Pudding.â€ Also in this volume: Peppermint Patty wins the â€œAll-City School Essay Contestâ€ with her â€œWhat I Did During Christmas Vacationâ€ essay, but snatches defeat from the jaws of victory with a disastrous acceptance speechâ€¦ Charlie Brown, Linus, Sally and Snoopy go to â€œrain campâ€ one year, and â€œsurvival campâ€ the nextâ€¦ The World War One Flying Ace gets the flu and is nursed back to health by a French Mademoiselle (Marcie)â€¦ Sally gives Santa Claus a heart attack (literally!)â€¦ Lucy talks Charlie Brown into posing in swim-trunks for their schoolâ€™s â€œSwimsuit issueâ€â€¦ Peppermint Patty gains a crabby tutorâ€¦ Linus suffers a crisis when addressed for the first time as â€œMisterâ€â€¦ plus another return appearance by Molly Volley, Snoopyâ€™s accidental destruction of his dog house (with a cannon!), and lots of near-Beckettian strips set in the desert starring this volumeâ€™s cover boy, the one and only Spike! Itâ€™s another two years of hilarious, heartwarming strips from the great Charles M. Schulz. 344
