Peanuts 18

CPeanuts18oming tomorrow (Wednesday, May 28) to better comic book stores is issue 18 of the Peanuts comic book. This issue has (in addition to the stories “Dance Craze” and “Blind as  a Bat” and a reprint of a four-daily-strip baseball sequence arranged in the centerfold so it can be removed and hung as a poster) two stories written by me. One is about Sally dealing with the first day of a new school year – that one is drawn by Robert Pope, who drew my Franklin-has-new-sneakers story. The other is a story about Rerun being a rerun, and Stephanie Gladden, who drew my first Peanuts story back in issue 7, is back for this… which is the last of my work on the book. I hope you’ve enjoyed the stories!
