É Natal!
Está de volta às livrarias brasileiras a tira mais popular do mundo dos quadrinhos: Peanuts. Publicada pela primeira vez em 1950, traz como personagem principal Charlie Brown, um menino inteligente e um tanto melancólico, cujo sonho é organizar um time de beisebol; ele é o dono de Snoopy, um cão da raça beagle cheio de imaginação. Lucy, Linus, Sally, Schroeder, Patty Pimentinha, Marcie e o passarinho Woodstock completam a cativante turma. As tiras de Charles M. Schulz foram publicadas diária e ininterruptamente por quase 50 anos - o que nunca aconteceu com nenhuma outra HQ - e chegaram a figurar em 2,6 mil jornais, atingindo um público de 355 milhões de leitores em 75 países e 40 línguas.

About the author
Charles M. Schulz
3,045 books1,675 followersCharles Monroe Schulz was an American cartoonist, whose comic strip Peanuts proved one of the most popular and influential in the history of the medium, and is still widely reprinted on a daily basis.
Schulz's first regular cartoons, Li'l Folks, were published from 1947 to 1950 by the St. Paul Pioneer Press; he first used the name Charlie Brown for a character there, although he applied the name in four gags to three different boys and one buried in sand. The series also had a dog that looked much like Snoopy. In 1948, Schulz sold a cartoon to The Saturday Evening Post; the first of 17 single-panel cartoons by Schulz that would be published there. In 1948, Schulz tried to have Li'l Folks syndicated through the Newspaper Enterprise Association. Schulz would have been an independent contractor for the syndicate, unheard of in the 1940s, but the deal fell through. Li'l Folks was dropped from the Pioneer Press in January, 1950.
Later that year, Schulz approached the United Feature Syndicate with his best strips from Li'l Folks, and Peanuts made its first appearance on October 2, 1950. The strip became one of the most popular comic strips of all time. He also had a short-lived sports-oriented comic strip called It's Only a Game (1957–1959), but he abandoned it due to the demands of the successful Peanuts. From 1956 to 1965 he contributed a single-panel strip ("Young Pillars") featuring teenagers to Youth, a publication associated with the Church of God.
Peanuts ran for nearly 50 years, almost without interruption; during the life of the strip, Schulz took only one vacation, a five-week break in late 1997. At its peak, Peanuts appeared in more than 2,600 newspapers in 75 countries. Schulz stated that his routine every morning consisted of eating a jelly donut and sitting down to write the day's strip. After coming up with an idea (which he said could take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours), he began drawing it, which took about an hour for dailies and three hours for Sunday strips. He stubbornly refused to hire an inker or letterer, saying that "it would be equivalent to a golfer hiring a man to make his putts for him." In November 1999 Schulz suffered a stroke, and later it was discovered that he had colon cancer that had metastasized. Because of the chemotherapy and the fact he could not read or see clearly, he announced his retirement on December 14, 1999.
Schulz often touched on religious themes in his work, including the classic television cartoon, A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965), which features the character Linus van Pelt quoting the King James Version of the Bible Luke 2:8-14 to explain "what Christmas is all about." In personal interviews Schulz mentioned that Linus represented his spiritual side. Schulz, reared in the Lutheran faith, had been active in the Church of God as a young adult and then later taught Sunday school at a United Methodist Church. In the 1960s, Robert L. Short interpreted certain themes and conversations in Peanuts as being consistent with parts of Christian theology, and used them as illustrations during his lectures about the gospel, as he explained in his bestselling paperback book, The Gospel According to Peanuts, the first of several books he wrote on religion and Peanuts, and other popular culture items. From the late 1980s, however, Schulz described himself in interviews as a "secular humanist": “I do not go to church anymore... I guess you might say I've come around to secular humanism, an obligation I believe all humans have to others and the world we live in.”

Peanuts é amorzinho, como sempre. Eu amo ler essas tirinhas, porém sobre essa edição o que tenho para falar é que: o título e capa são enganadores. Eu esperava uma pequena coletânea de tirinhas de Natal, diferentes tirinhas do mês de dezembro onde o tema principal fosse o Natal. As tirinhas começam em dezembro de 1985 e vão até maio de 1986. Sim, tem algumas tirinhas de Natal, mas o livro inteiro não é sobre o Natal. Tenho outro livrinho de coletânea que é sobre o tema Amizade, com tirinhas de diversos anos dentro deste tema, então por causa do título assumi que fosse apenas um tema, não um recorte de seis meses seguidos.
Enfim, para quem gosta bastante de Peanuts, acho melhor comprar as coletâneas bienais por serem completas. Quem prefere edições menores e compactas, recomendo essa, só verifique se as tirinhas estão dentro de um tema (amizade, aventura, felicidade) ou se são com numeração. Acredito que os numerados seguem tirinhas de 6 meses consecutivos.

Fofin! Em várias tirinhas eu ri alto, mas algumas achei bemmmm localizadas ao contexto estadunidense, daí não tiveram tanto impacto. Mas é bem lindinho!

Snoopy 04
É Natal!
Charles M. Schulz.
L&PM Pocket
2007
Kkkk... Divirto-me com as discussões sem cabimento entre Charlie Brown e Lucy.
Agora compreendo porque ela tira a bola de futebol americano quando ele vai chutar, pois ele briga tanto com ela quando jogam beisebol.
Que ela tem que descontar em algum momento.
E o Snoopy com os amigos do Woodstock, como escoteiros é hilário.
Muito bom!!!
RECOMENDADÍSSIMO!!!
ADOROR!!!
