Schulz’s non-Peanuts days

Most of this day-at-a-time calendar is made up from Schulz’s Young Pillars and other cartoons he drew for the Church of God, as you saw in the book Schulz’s Youth. (And yes, in the interest of full disclosure, as the publisher of Schulz’s Youth, I’m involved in the deal for the calendar and am profiting from it.) The single panel cartoons should make for good calendar decor.
