Odd Peanuts books? Making my coffee table book The Peanuts Collection? The upcoming Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking? General Peanuts book collecting? Would you rather I just shut up and show “You Will Live Underwater, Charlie Brown”?

Because it looks like I will be going to Beaglefest the summer (my first time!) and will be speaking, and while I don’t have to prepare quite this far in advance, I’d like to be thinking about what talk I’ll be giving.
