krpalmerAfter resorting to one of my library’s ebook lending services to read a volume of the Peanuts Every Sunday colour collection I’d never quite got around to buying as a proper printed book, I didn’t rush into the following volumes. That delay could have contained an element of “is it better to look forward to some things than to look back?”, but maybe I should also admit to wondering if that would get to the point where I couldn’t say anything about them here at all (although I suppose I’d managed to say something about the Sunday pages and daily strips together...)
“I go by the colors of the countries on the map... See? Some are pink.. some are yellow..”
At last, though, I signed out the volume covering the first half of the 1990s. As I began it, I have to admit that concern about not being able to say anything was still there, beyond a thought or two about a few single-panel pages catching my eye. Towards the end of the volume, however, my feelings did improve. Comments about “Rerun’s peculiar perpective on things helped near the end” could have come to mind, but I also noted pages returning to the old gag of “Snoopy at full speed grabs Linus’s blanket, with Linus still hanging on...” There was also one strip where “Pig-Pen” showed up, and even managed to clean up (briefly), but here the colouring might have got my attention for his clothes still being brown.
I have happened to see a report of paperback versions of this collection coming out. It could still be a while before the volumes I didn’t buy before are available, and if I do buy paperback versions they’ll stand in contrast to the hardcover volumes. Nevertheless, it’s at least an option in my mind at this moment.
