Snoopy Vs. the Red Baron (Peanuts Seasonal), by Charles M. Schulz Review “
The latest of Fantagraphics’ gorgeous Peanuts collections is guaranteed to fly off shelves faster than usual, centering as it does on the strip’s true star, Snoopy, battling his perennially unseen archenemy. ... Longing and humor are, as always, elegantly alternated... Peanuts aficionados will also delight in the opportunity to see the strip’s artistic and philosophical evolution play out in selections culled from 50 years of strips.
” (Jesse Karp - Booklist)“...[T]here’s something joyful and pure about Schulz’s excursions into the inner life of an anthropomorphized dog, who really is a perfect foil for the permanently disappointed Charlie Brown, and brings necessary shades to a comic frequently concerned with feelings of insignificance. In Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron, you see Schulz exalting the power of imagination, self-assuredness, and hope...” (John Parker - ComicsAlliance)
About the Author Charles M. Schulz was born November 25, 1922, in Minneapolis. His destiny was foreshadowed when an uncle gave him, at the age of two days, the nickname Sparky (after the racehorse Spark Plug in the newspaper strip Barney Google).In his senior year in high school, his mother noticed an ad in a local newspaper for a correspondence school, Federal Schools (later called Art Instruction Schools). Schulz passed the talent test, completed the course, and began trying, unsuccessfully, to sell gag cartoons to magazines. (His first published drawing was of his dog, Spike, and appeared in a 1937 Ripley's Believe It or Not! installment.) Between 1948 and 1950, he succeeded in selling 17 cartoons to the Saturday Evening Post―as well as, to the local St. Paul Pioneer Press, a weekly comic feature called Li'l Folks. It was run in the women's section and paid $10 a week. After writing and drawing the feature for two years, Schulz asked for a better location in the paper or for daily exposure, as well as a raise. When he was turned down on all three counts, he quit.He started submitting strips to the newspaper syndicates. In the spring of 1950, he received a letter from the United Feature Syndicate, announcing their interest in his submission, Li'l Folks. Schulz boarded a train in June for New York City; more interested in doing a strip than a panel, he also brought along the first installments of what would become Peanuts―and that was what sold. (The title, which Schulz loathed to his dying day, was imposed by the syndicate.) The first Peanuts daily appeared October 2, 1950; the first Sunday, January 6, 1952.Diagnosed with cancer, Schulz retired from Peanuts at the end of 1999. He died on February 13, 2000, the day before Valentine's Day―and the day before his last strip was published―having completed 17,897 daily and Sunday strips, each and every one fully written, drawn, and lettered entirely by his own hand―an unmatched achievement in comics.

The Red Baron" strips qualify as some of the greatest comic art ever produced. In late 1965, on an otherwise normal Sunday, the anthropomorphized and almost indescribably surreal beagle, Snoopy, donned "World War I Flying Ace" cap and goggles and added a neck scarf that remained taught even while stationary. Then he climbed on top of his doghouse and began throwing curses at an invisible abstraction of Manfred Von Richthofen, famously known as "The Red Baron." This nefarious enemy often manifested himself with an ominous splatter of bullet holes. Curses! In earlier "Peanuts" strips, Snoopy had demonstrated considerable powers of contortion with his "animal imitations." These culminated in a transformation into an almost human "Flying Ace." Astride his "Sopwith Camel," he fought bravely for the Allies, courted cute peasant girls, debriefed General Pershing and President Wilson and quaffed countless quarts of root beer. This unprecedented persona quickly entered the realms of comic strip and pop culture legend.Fantagraphics has preserved all of these unforgettable strips in the aptly titled "Snoopy Vs. The Red Baron." The book contains, apart from a few graphic design flourishes, only comic strips and nothing but comic strips. No commentary or essays precede these classic drawings. They stand on their own. Though the strips date from 1965 to the end of "Peanuts" illustrious run, the strips do not appear in chronological order. The famous first Sunday strip doesn't show up until almost 150 pages into the book. It initiates a final section called "Dogfights on Sundays." The book opens with the first "Red Baron" daily strips from 1965, but even the daily strips don't completely follow their original order of publication. No years accompany the strips, which may bewilder some who have already experienced these strips in their original context (Fantagraphics also published "The Complete Peanuts," which reproduces every strip in original order). One sees Schulz's older style where four panels reigned, then eventually other later characters walk on stage, such as Spike, Belle and the somewhat bizarre "Marbles." Then the strips morph into three panels, the pen lines gradually change into Schulz's more wild late period hand and even a few single panel strips roll by. Suddenly a red page with the words "The Daily Skirmishes with the Red Baron," framed by a white dog house, transports the book once more back to 1965. The cycle then repeats until the final Sunday section. Perhaps Fantagraphics, after publishing countless volumes of "Peanuts" strips in order, sought some variation. Whatever reason existed behind jostling the strips around in this manner, the book still presents an enjoyable journey through Snoopy's encounters with his arch-enemy. Everything from thrilling dog fights, lonely hours in French cafés, learning French or German to impress pretty peasant girls, excursions to camp, Lindbergh tributes, trips on "Ace" airlines, disgruntled card-playing mechanics, enemy torture (i.e., the vet), "blighters" and countless other adventures fill almost 200 pages. A few single strips are expanded to fill the entire book's span. These also add splashes of color. The inside front and back covers open and close the book appropriately with Snoopy's fist-waving curses. The strips in this book alone justify "Peanuts" status as one of the best comic strips of all time. Nyahh, nyahh, nyahh!One question lingers for those who enjoy delving beneath the surface: just why did Schultz transform his most famous character in this way? Why did Snoopy become a World War I Flying Ace? Of course it's incredibly funny and perhaps the story ends there. But since the Vietnam war raged at the time, some temptation exists to equate Snoopy's unexplained new persona with those earth-shattering times. Schultz, who served in World War II, claimed that it all derived from World War I melodramas. At least one critic declared that Snoopy's mounting of his doghouse "biplane" corresponded exactly to key Vietnam war dates. But Schultz created "Peanuts" strips well ahead of their print dates, usually weeks ahead, and he obviously had no advance notice, or clairvoyant insight, about the war. Others have suggested that, throughout the late 1960s, "Peanuts" seemed to have taken on a more anti-war stance. Charlie Brown starts making glum jokes about getting drafted and "Flying Ace" Snoopy fulminates increasingly about "this stupid war." By contrast, some have outright denied any anti-war sentiment in these strips. Schultz, typically and probably wisely, dodged any direct reference to politics in these strips. Snoopy himself never made direct reference to the Vietnam war. Schultz never apparently associated the war explicitly with his strip, either. But he also doesn't seem to have explicitly denied a connection. One Vietnam war squadron did use Snoopy, in "Flying Ace" garb, as its mascot with full permission from the beagle's creator. Arguably, "Peanuts" does seem to include more anti-war language in the late 1960s. And yes, when Snoopy cries "curse this stupid war!" he is referring to the First World War in his imaginative context and not to the Vietnam war. Good arguments exist on either side and the entire theory quickly becomes provably unproveable. Schulz may have wanted it both ways, because the strips masterfully allow for multiple readings, which increases their appeal exponentially even today. Not to mention that, had Schultz taken a bold stand for or against the Vietnam war, either way he risked alienating a vast amount of his readership. It could have potentially ended the strip and his career. Perhaps he instead played to both sides. In one way, the "Flying Ace" strips honor war and sympathize with troops. In another way, they curse war, while displaying its unquestionable hardships and costs. Our highly polarized culture of extremes rarely sees the big picture, but Schultz may have been attempting to show it in these amazing strips. Whether or not any political subtext exists beneath Snoopy's dogfights (probably another inspiring pun), the strips will probably always remain enjoyable to a wide variety of readers. This Fantagraphics collection provides a great way for anyone to read or scrutinize all of these incredible examples of comic mastery.
