Features: French fries aren't for wiping tears. — Snoopy is a very contradictory character. From a certain perspective, he is even quite selfish. He always likes to see himself as an independent and eccentric dog, and he constantly sets his sights too high. — Charles M. Schulz "Schulz boldly used his 'eccentricity'—his lifelong feelings of isolation, insecurity, and inferiority—to expose his life's observations and experiences to readers. Faith, narrow-mindedness, frustration, loneliness, cruelty, and despair—all were imbued with a touch of melancholic humor by him. The main characters of the Peanuts world are meditators, simple yet determined. They are deeply interested in literature, art, classical music, theology, medicine, psychiatry, sports, and law." — Time "Sharp, unpredictable, timeless, Peanuts has shaken half a century," Trulove said, "Everything about it is unique." — Time The ace pilot Snoopy starts his self-directed war game again in World War I. But at the beginning, he makes a big mistake, attacking a passerby, Sally, as the secretary of the enemy, the Red Baron, and even snatches her book report, swallowing it whole as a secret document! When he learns that his brother, Spike, has also been drafted into the infantry, he braves danger, tunnels through the barbed wire, and searches everywhere for his heroic brother. Lucy remains as willful as ever. One day, on a whim, she hires her brother and Snoopy, who calls himself the "world-famous employee," at extremely low wages to tidy up her garden. She gives them orders arbitrarily, is extremely harsh, and even denies them a chance to rest. Finally, Linus and Snoopy are exhausted and collapse onto the shovels, and she throws them one by one into the big hole Snoopy has dug with the shovels. Unable to endure the humiliation, Snoopy, after accepting the task of planting seeds, summons birds to eat all the seeds. At this point, of course, he has also found an escape route for himself—to live in the desert with his brother, Spike, for a few years.
