The Bumper Book of Peanuts: Snoopy and Friends

Product Information

Schulz began to discuss an anthology of his work with Fantagraphics in 1997. The idea of a complete compendium of all published Peanuts strips was long resisted by Schulz; he did not want some early strips reprinted, as he felt they were not as good as the ones he drew later in his career. [2] Approximately 2,000 of the 17,897 strips had never appeared in a previous U.S. collection. [ citation needed] You Need Help, Charlie Brown begins where the previous daily collection left off, and continues into mid-December 1965, providing only about 50% inclusion.

Win a Few, Lose a Few, Charlie Brown continues from its predecessor to late March 1974, maintaining near-100% inclusion. In 2013, Fantagraphics started releasing softcover editions of The Complete Peanuts with the same material as the hardcovers but different cover artwork. These covers feature a strip in focus, with three panels on the front. The first volume omits some small drawings that accompanied the essays and the interview has been deleted.

Hallmark began printing greetings cards and party goods featuring the characters in 1960. [150] In the late 1960s, Sanrio held the licensing rights in Japan for Snoopy. Sanrio is best known for Hello Kitty and its focus on the kawaii segment of the Japanese market. [151] Beginning in 1985, the characters were made mascots and served as spokespeople for the MetLife insurance company, with the intention to make the business "more friendly and approachable". [152] Schulz justified the licensing relationship with MetLife as necessary to financially support his philanthropic work, although refused to openly describe the exact details of the work he was financing. [153] In 2016, the 31-year licensing relationship with MetLife ended. [152] Yawar, Athar (October 3, 2015). "The madness of Charlie Brown".

Snoopy is currently the official mascot of all the Cedar Fair parks. It was previously used in all of the park logos but it has since been removed. Cedar Fair also operated a Camp Snoopy area at Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom, Worlds of Fun, and Valleyfair featuring various Peanuts-themed attractions until 2011. There is still a Camp Snoopy area at Cedar Point and Knott's Berry Farm.

The characters from the comic have long been licensed for use on merchandise, the success of the comic strip helping to create a market for such items. In 1958, the Hungerford Plastics Corporation created a set of five vinyl dolls of the most famous characters (Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus, and Schroeder); they expanded this line in 1961 to make the dolls slightly larger and included Sally and Pig-Pen. [147] An early example of the characters appearing in promotional material was strips and illustrations drawn by Schulz for the 1955 instructional booklet for the Kodak Brownie camera, The Brownie Book of Picture Taking. [148] Another early campaign was on behalf of Ford Motor Company; magazine illustrations, brochure illustrations, and animated television spots featuring the characters were used to promote the Ford Falcon from January 1960 into 1964. [148] Schulz credited the Ford campaign as the first time where licensing the characters earned "a lot of money". However, he expressed a dislike of illustrating the adverts, describing it as "hard work" and would have preferred to dedicate equivalent effort to drawing the Sunday format strips. [149]

Although it’s a visual history, there’s quite a lot to read in this book. It’s in the reading that Beecroft’s work becomes a 3 rather than a 4 for me. Most of the time, the text is pitched at an adult audience, but every so often it slips into a voice more appropriate for a much younger reader. I found that inconsistency jarring.
