Peanuts, found in a box

This is how the Peanuts were published in Germany back in 1971. I still have a few of those little books.

    Meine waren ein paar Jahre später, im DIN A5-Format, aber immer noch so mit Bild und Text, wahrscheinlich der gleiche Verlag.

    1. Stimmt, die gab’s dann später in einem anderen Format.

    wow, wonderful.

    me = a little bit jealous

    only the “Knirpse” … duh.

  3. Die gab’s in den 60ern auch in der Samstagsbeilage der Ruhr-Nachrichten, als “Karlchen Braun”.

    This is really interesting to someone who lives in the States and has never seen the German PEANUTS paperbacks. But, are there strips in the book? I see a lot of photos, text and drawings, but no actual strips. Thanks so much for posting this, Ralf!

    1. Yes, there are! But, sadly – I’m a bit concerned about the copyright issue. :-)

    OK, good to know! Just wanted to make sure that there were indeed a bunch of PEANUTS strips in there!

  6. Ralf…
    Do you ever fucking throw anything away?
