COMPLETE PEANUTS IS A GO!

This is what everyone’s been asking for, begging for.

Now it’s happening.

THE COMPLETE PEANUTS, a set of books reprinting every
Peanuts newspaper strip.

The publisher is Fantagraphics, who has previously collected
such strips as Krazy Kat and Pogo.

It’s a series of 25 hardcovers, each covering two years
of the strip. All in black and white. $28.95 apiece, which
ain’t bad for a hardcover.

First one ships in April, 2004.

The books are being designed by the cartoonist Seth, probably
best known for his graphic novel It’s A Good Life If You Don’t
Weaken, which you can see at http://AAUGH.com/to.htm?189659770X
The vast majority of strips will be reprinted from clean
syndicate proofs.

You can’t preorder them yet.

Believe me, when I have more news, I’ll get it to you. But I
knew you would want to hear this as soon as possible.

Happy now?

MOTHER’S DAY? GOOD GRIEF!

Okay, after that anything is going to be anticlimactic… but
as long as I’m sending out a newsletter, here comes another
kiddie book. GOOD GRIEF, IT’S MOTHER’S DAY! comes out in
April as well. $3.99. http://AAUGH.com/to.htm?0689865899

Big Fantagraphics sale and other Peanuts notes

On Peanuts and Gender

This weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the sold-out Transpose Theatricals production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown in North Hollywood, California. The production featuring an all-trans and non-binary cast was a fun one, the cast brought great talent and a enthusiasm and really filled out their characters …

The real Linus’s real cartooning

Like many Peanuts fans, I knew that the character of Linus was named after Linus Maurer, who worked at Art Instruction alongside Schulz. Like seemingly fewer fans, I knew that Maurer himself had been a syndicated cartoonist… but for some reason I never saw any of his strip before today. …
