Peanuts Philosophers

For a while, we’ve had something called Peanuts Philosophers listed as coming next March. Well, that’s still the case, but now I know what it is – it’s a reprint of a cute little set of books (Snoopy’s Philosophy, The Wisdom of Charlie Brown, The World According to Lucy, and Linus on Life) from Hallmark, each with a handful of strips reprinted at one panel per page. When these first came out in 1968, they were $1.25 apiece. Now, you can get a boxed set of all four for under $9. Perhaps the last forty-some year of inflation hasn’t been as big as suspected.
