The Forewritten Foreword

A quick note on the already-printed, soon-to-be-released The Complete Peanuts: 1987-1988:
This volume boasts a foreword by Garry Trudeau, creator of “Doonesbury”. It is a very fine piece of writing. However, on the off chance that you’re buying this volume primarily for the foreword, you should know that it’s not a new piece of writing. It’s a reprint of an essay that first appeared in the December 19, 1999 Washington Post, as a reflection on Schulz’s retirement. Peanuts book completists will already have it in Tribute to Sparky, a volume published by the Schulz Museum in 2003.
But if you’re only buying the book for the foreword: what? Two years of Peanuts strips isn’t good enough for you?
