We are midway through the 1970s and this volume features several benchmark storylines, including a "double track" sequence with two parallel narratives: Peppermint Patty competes in a Powderpuff Derby while Charlie Brown finally meets his baseball idol. There are also obedience school fiascos, waterbed dilemmas, and Marcie's unwanted suitor. All of these classic gags starring Snoopy, Schroeder, Lucy, Franklin, Rerun, and Sally are introduced by writer and comedian Robert Smigel.
