Some non-book stuff

At Fashion Week this year, they had a special show of Peanuts-inspired fashions — and now you can see pictures and videos online of Snoopy in Fashion. Some nifty stuff there, and some really horrible stuff. Some of those outfits will be on display at the Schulz Museum from October 6 to November 9.
And speaking of the museum: In my review of the upcoming Schulz bio, I mentioned how the book at times focused on how closely some of the strips were based on what was going on in Schulz’s life at the time. Starting Tuesday and running through January 14 the Schulz museum will display the originals of 70 strips based on Schulz’s life. Should be a good set (as if there’s a bad set of Schulz originals!)
