Schulz’s non-Peanuts days

I expect that 2010 will be represented by the usual number of Peanuts calendars… but in what I think will be a first, it will also be represented by a non-Peanuts Schulz calendar. It’s not up at Amazon yet, but here at the Barbour Books site, you can see that they’ve announced just such a thing.

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.
