description: With this volume The Complete Peanuts ventures into the lesser-known 1980s and Peanuts fans are sure to find plenty of surprises.In Snoopy-family news Spike is drafted into the Infantry (dont worry its only Snoopys imaginary World War I army) and a brand new brother Marbles (with the spotty ears) takes his bow. We also see two major baseball-oriented stories one in which Charlie Brown joins Peppermint Pattys team and another in which Charlie Brown and his team lose their baseball field.In other stories Peppermint Patty witnesses the butterfly miracle Linus protests that he is not Sallys Sweet Babboo Sally (in an unrelated sequence) gets fat the Van Pelts get into farming and two of the most eccentric characters from later Peanuts years the hyperaggressive Molly Volley and the whiny Crybaby Boobie make a return engagement.Charles Schulzs Peanuts world will never grow old and Fantagraphics complete reprinting of this masterpiece now in its eighth year  still lovingly designed by world-class cartoonist Seth  has firmly established itself as one of the very finest archival comic-strip projects ever done.
