Sherlock Snoopy and Evil Schroeder

Evil Schroeder and Sherlock SnoopyI think some people assume that I’m known for my Peanuts knowledge because I have a good memory. Really, the opposite is the truth.  I’m known because I couldn’t trust my memory to remember which Peanuts books I had, and which books have the same contents as other books, so I started to make lists. And I posted those lists online, shared them, what eventually became the AAUGH.com collectors’ guide. At the moment, my memory is failing me in that half a year or so ago, I bought another filmstrip in the Charlie Brown’s Career Education set, and I scanned in some of the interesting images you see here with a plan to talk about them… but I no longer remember which of my pile of filmstrips it was, so I cannot refer to the accompanying booklet or audio tape to tell me what it’s about. Perhaps some day I’ll dig through them all to understand.
