Although Schulz's much-loved comic strip is considered timeless—the continued reprinting of decades-old episodes in today's newspapers attests to its perennial appeal—it wasn't immune to contemporary trends. In these episodes, Peppermint Patty advocates for women's equity in sports and gets Bo Derek-inspired cornrows. In other anomalous sequences, Charlie Brown's pals express uncharacteristic affection for him when he's hospitalized, and Peppermint Patty falls in love with—of all people—Pig-Pen. But most of the strips here display the comfortable tropes, from Snoopy as a WWI flying ace to Linus awaiting the Great Pumpkin, that Peanuts fans grew to love during its five-decade run.
