A cat was in peanuts. I never knew a cat made an appearance. Lucys's shrink stand makes an appearance. Sally's talking.

It seems like this was when the Peanuts really began to hit its stride. Very enjoyable collection.

this collection is enormous.
by 1961, charles schulz definitely had hit his stride with his characters and while some gags repeat unhumorously (the naturally curly hair girl) mostly, i feel his characters blend the perfect amount of cynicism with hope, earnest with sarcastic, cruel with kind. i love getting lost in their world.

In these years Sally becomes a full-fledged character, aging in time to fret about the tyranny of being sent to Kindergarten. The biggest debut is Frieda & Faron. Growing up I had no idea who Frieda was because she had the briefest lifespan of Schulz' main characters so hardly appeared in any strips after I was born. She and the other forgotten characters did appear in my hand-me-down 'Charlie Brown Dictionary' set, but that doesn't give much in the way of characterization.
The span of this comic staggers me if I really think about it. He kept up a daily strip with relatively few repeats for fifty years.
Otherwise, there is being to be a lot more interaction between Snoopy and the birds, he talks with them, allows them to rent out his doghouse for club meetings and is a rest stop during migration. Woodstock, of course, is a few years way. My favorite strips were where he befriends snowmen, only to have them melt.
Lucy's psychiatric booth gets into full swing and there was an interesting storyline where the Van Pelt's new tangerine pool table causes unrest among the mothers. They spend so much time playing during the day they forget about their children.
Complete Peanuts
Next: 'Volume Seven: 1963-1964'
Previous: 'Volume Five: 1959-1960'

Linus: "You need a new outlook, Charlie Brown... Try to look at your life as if it were a book, and each day is if it were a page in that book..."
Charlie Brown: "I've tried that... There were too many misprints!"

(Please note: I am going on fuzzy memory here. Forgive any errors.)
While everything was exciting and new to see in the 50s with this series, the 60s mostly seemed a little bland with a couple of exceptions. Hence, only four stars. : )
