The best comic strip of all time!,

I have been purchasing the Peanuts Day-to-Day calendars for years and I have never come across a repeated strip. Although Schulz passed away a decade ago he created 50-years of Peanuts cartoons, which means that there are enough daily strips to last lifetime. Given the deplorable state of comic strips these days (seriously, who can stomach The Family Circus, Marmaduke, Dennis the Menace, Close to Home, Kathy, Hagar the Horrible...?) Schulz's Peanuts will remind you of a time when comic strips were clever rather than humorless dreck phoned in by a soulless machine. I miss the days of Peanuts, Bloom County, Calvin and Hobbes, and The Far Side. Do yourself a favor and pick up this calendar, you won't be disappointed.
[December 20 edit] I am bumping my rating down by 1 star because after going through this calendar I made the startling discovery that LLC Andrews McMeel Publishing has eliminated the Sunday strips and instead has combined Saturday and Sunday into one day...Read more

I received my 2010 day-to-day calendar today and will be returning it tomorrow. Though each daily comic is bright and colorful, I was very disappointed in how absurdly small the comic strip is on each page of the calendar. The fonts used are also ridiculously small. There was plenty of room on the page to have produced this properly, in a larger, more readable format. Why the manufacturer did it this way is beyond me. I've purchased the Peanuts day-to-day calendar before in years past, and each comic strip was more of a "normal" size for each page. This one isn't. Awful production.

I really enjoy looking at a new strip everyday. I was happy when they went to color everyday a few years back. I gave it 4 stars because they have gotten rid of the Sunday strips which is a real bummer. I always enjoyed the Sunday strips because they often times had their own story lines and of course they were longer. Now the Saturday and Sunday strips are one. You now pay the same price for 52 less pages. Oh well.
