The Complete Peanuts 1997-1998 captures the final chapters of Charles M. Schulz's beloved comic strip. These strips explore Charlie Brown’s entanglement in a counterfeit autograph scheme, Rerun’s contentious accusations, Snoopy’s brothers’ adventurous quest for Mickey Mouse, and Snoopy earning his driving licence. Linus’s venture into founding a church devoted to the Great Pumpkin, only to be branded a false prophet, adds to the comic's nuanced humour and charm. This volume, rich with surprises, invites readers to reflect on the enduring legacy of Peanuts.

In The Complete Peanuts: 1995-1996 (Vol. 24), the penultimate volume of the bestselling series, Charlie Brown gets caught up in a fake celebrity autographs racket, Rerun gets accused of sexual harassment, the infamous 'Crybaby' Boobie returns, Snoopy's brothers go on a quest to find Mickey Mouse, Snoopy gets his driving licence, Rerun continues to pursue the underground arts, Linus starts his own church of Great Pumpkin believers and is declared a false prophet. The 24th volume of the series is packed with other surprises that make these last few years of Peanuts ripe for reconsideration.

Seattle Times hailed Schulz as reaching across generations like no other art form. Former President Bill Clinton called Schulz an American treasureβ€”artist, philosopher, and observer of life. Literary critic Umberto Eco described Peanuts as a microcosm of human comedy for both the innocent and sophisticated reader. Filmmaker John Waters emphasised Schulz’s lesson in resilience through laughter, praising Peanuts as a profound way of life.
