Charles Schulz incorporated sports into “Peanuts” strips. In
SNOOPY’S TENNIS BOOK, Schulz gathers together a various strips featuring Snoopy
playing tennis. The book includes an
introduction by Billy Jean King. Some of the strips are part of a series (such
as Snoopy being paired with Molly Volley in a doubles tournament), but many are
just single offerings. About half-way through the book, there is a series of
colored sketches that feature “Snoopy at Wimbledon.” The end of the book
features “Snoopy’s Tournament Tips” that is a collection of 17 tips from Snoopy
about playing in a tennis tournament. SNOOPY’S TENNIS BOOK is now more of a
collector’s item, but it’s initial appeal is for fans of Snoopy and anyone who
likes tennis.
