We are now in the mid-1960s, one of Schulz's peak periods of creativity . Snoopy has become the strip's dominant personality, and this volume marks two milestones for the character: the first of many "dogfights" with the nefarious Red Baron, and the launch of his writing career . Two new characters—the first two from outside the strip's regular little neighborhood—make their bows. Roy won't have a lasting impact, but upon his return from camp he regales a friend of his with tales of the strange kids he met, and she has to go check them out for herself. Her name? "Peppermint" Patty. With an introduction by filmmaker Hal Hartley.
