description: Peanuts surges into the 1970s with Schulz at the peak of his powers and influence: a few jokes about Bob Dylan Womens Liberation and Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex (!)aside these two years are as timeless as Peanuts ever was.Sally Brownschool phobia malapropisms unrequited love for Linus and allelbows her way to center stage at least among the humans and is thus the logical choice for cover girl... and in her honor the introduction is provided by none other than Broadway television and film star Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked Pushing Daisies) who first rose to Tony-winning fame with her scene-stealing performance as Sally in Youre a Good Man Charlie Brown.Two long Summer-camp sequences involve Charlie Brown and Peppermint Patty who has decided that Charlie Brown is madly in love with her much to his clueless confusion. Snoopy shows up at camp as well as does Peppermint Pattys new permanent sidekick the one and only Marcie.The eternally mutable Snoopy mostly shakes off his World War I Flying Ace identity and turns into Joe Cool college hipster extraordinaire. And in three long sequences he writes a fan letter to his favorite author Miss Helen Sweetstory then goes on a journey to meet her and finally enlists Charlie Browns help when her latest opus The Six Bunny-Wunnies Freak Out falls afoul of censors.Also Woodstock attends worm school falls in love with a worm (perhaps the most doomed unrequited Peanuts love story ever!) and is nearly eaten by the neighbors cat... Peppermint Patty is put on trial for another dress code violation and makes a very ill-advised choice in terms of lawyers... Snoopy turns Linuss blanket into not one but two sportcoats... Lucy hits a home run...and the birth of one Rerun Van Pelt!
