Read my first Peanuts story here

Those of you who follow the current Peanuts comic book may have noted that they had been starting with a longer story, followed by shorter stories, until recently. That meant that the first-5-pages “preview” packs that they sent out for the press to share included just part of a story. But last issue and this week’s issue, they’ve lead with shorter stories. That means that the Preview they sent me (with my “press” hat on) has the complete story written by me (with my “comics writer” hat on… okay, it’s more of a beanie) that I can share with you here. I hope you like it! You can click on the images for larger copies… and of course, you are heartily encouraged to go to your local comic book store and purchase a copy when it arrives this Wednesday.
