From the Bookshelf: The Complete Peanuts 1967-1968

Almost before I'd hoped to see it, I found a copy of the latest volume of "The Complete Peanuts," with Violet on a violet cover (and probably just in time for her, before she really turns into an "obscure character"), in a bookstore and bought it. As usual, I tried to "savour" the experience by reading only two months' worth of comic strips from it a day, but at times I didn't even get around to that. For all I know, that serves as a subtle reproach. Even before getting the book, though, I had heard that it's not quite "Complete" in that the May 1, 1967 comic strip ("Someday I'm going to break all the legs on his piano!") is accidentally repeated where the May 3, 1967 comic strip should be... and given some recent experiences, I can wonder if noting this will prompt a comment from a helpful Fantagraphics employee who will somehow find this post and inform me that the missing strip is going to be included as an "errata" page or something in the next volume.
