About the author

Stephan Pastis

90 books444 followers
Stephan Pastis was born in 1968 and raised in San Marino, California, a suburb of Los Angeles. He graduated from the University of California at Berkeley in 1989 with a degree in political science. Although he had always wanted to be a syndicated cartoonist, Pastis realized that the odds of syndication were slim, so he entered UCLA Law School in 1990 and became an attorney instead. He practiced law in the San Francisco Bay area from 1993 to 2002. While an attorney, he began submitting various comic strip concepts to all of the syndicates, and, like virtually all beginning cartoonists, got his fair share of rejection slips. Then, in 1997, he began drawing Pearls Before Swine, which he submitted to the syndicates in mid-1999. In December, 1999, he signed a contract with United.
Pearls Before Swine debuted in newspapers in January, 2002, and Pastis left his law practice in August of that year. Pearls Before Swine was nominated in 2003, 2004 and 2007 as "Best Newspaper Comic Strip" by the National Cartoonists Society (NCS) and won the award in 2004 and 2007. Pastis lives with his family in Northern California.

This timeless retelling takes us back to the neighborhood and features Linus' insecurities, Charlie Brown's kite-flying woes, Lucy's unrequited love for Schroeder, and everyone's favorite beagle, Snoopy, in a lively and colorful spin through Charles Schulz's imagination.

Why is this one so funny?!!!

Ah, the obsession.
I can so relate!
The stages of withdrawal!
The dialogues!!!
I can use these dialogues anytime to annoy anyone anywhere anytime!

'I have affixed to me the dirt of countless ages...who am Into disturb history?!'
Damn, you are too good.

Whenever this one comes up, it just cracks me up... 'I will probably never get married.' Lucy!☺️

Damn...when others do not understand you at all....the moment this question was asked : 'Are any of you secure?'

Ultimately in the end, I am in love with Peanuts.

I just had to give it five. At first I wasn't impressed and I thought it just wasn't as good as the original, but I was laughing out loud! Hilarious! I have ALWAYS loved Charlie Brown and of course Snoopy is my absolute favourite character.

I LOVE THE PEANUTS! Linus is my favorite character. He reminds me of me when I was little because I also had a blanket that I took everywhere. I know my blanket was my security. I needed it and I still have it. I'm just not as attached as I was growing up. Any chance I get to relive my childhood I take it and Charlie Brown is one I hold dear to my heart.

I understand that everyone wanted Linus to get rid of his blanket but I don't think they realized that the blanket was apart of Linus. It was something that was special about him.

Linus, I know your pain

I too had my trusty blanket as a kid, still have it tucked away safely. Although a quick read, the laughs pour off the pages. You can’t go wrong with Snoopy!

This book was about how Linus really loved his blanket but people kept trying to break him from having it. As the story continues he finally gets his blanket back because he gave his gramma the wrong blanket that she wanted to take away from him.

Başlarda çok keyif alacağımı düşünmemiştim fakat sonra kendimi kaptırdım ve çok fazla güldüm. Snoopy her zaman favori karakterim. Lucy ise her zaman deli etmeye devam ediyor. :)

Ho bisogno della mia coperta, lo ammetto. Ma guardatevi. Chi di voi non ha qualche insicurezza... chi può scagliare la prima pietra?

Linus without his blanket? Say it ain’t so, Charlie Brown! All of our favorite characters are here, trying to persuade Linus to give up that dirty old blanket before gramma arrives. It’s an intervention. Will it work?

Moral: Everyone has a vice or Grammas are easily duped.

Length: It’s no comic, that’s for sure.

Favorite Line: “Only Charlie Brown’s dog, Snoopy, understood how great Linus’s blanket really was.”

Overall impression: I’m not sure a grown kid like Linus should carry around his blanket. Aren’t there books out there trying to get little ones AWAY from their stuffed animals, blankets and pacifiers? Yet it feels good to go back to these zany characters and be with them as an adult. So maybe l forgive Schultz for suggesting that patients facing interventions come out better on the other side with their vices in tact.

I prefer Schulz's original strips. Maybe it's because I've never watched the animations, but I really don't like Peanuts in colour. Something feels off, like some run-of-the-mill cartoons? Unlike the thicker, free-r outlines of the original, the linework here seems a bit lifeless even though we know the art directors have studied the subtleties closely from the extras at the end. The layouts also stood out to me as less effective than the simple 4-panel format.

The humour is good as ever and especially dense around 3/4 into this book, but a lot of it is familiar so I'm giving the five stars to Schulz instead of this adaptation.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

As much as we don't want to admit it, we all have some form of security blankets.

I think I am my husband's *lol* and he is mine.

What's yours?

Good Grief!☺️ Best story ever

I have always loved peanuts, but this one is sooo funny, I have to consider it the best. Here's two of the lines -"I probably will never get married." By Lucy.
"Who am I to disturb the remains of history?" By Pig Pen. If that isn't funny, I don't know what is.☺️

Aaaa os quadrinhos do Snoopy são sempre maravilhosos! Essa edição está com composições e cenários lindos. Como sempre, extremamente bem feito.

Os diálogos são maravilhosos. Fazem a saga do cobertor se tornar até filosófica. KKKK É bom demais!

E os roughs da animação dos personagens, nas últimas páginas, são um detalhe bem legal.

This book was hilarious! Linus had this blanket that he loved so much and was not ready to let go of and that spoke to me. Sometimes we judge people for why they do things but sometimes whatever they enjoy doing helps them deal with their insecurities and anxiety

Linus Can’t Live Without His Blue Blanket

An enjoyable story about the importance a Blue Blanket to the psychological well being of Linus and how he can’t do without it.

Awesome

The art was awesome and, along with the story, was very similar to the original Peanuts by Shulz. The behind the scenes were also very fun and interesting
