A double dose of Thanksgiving

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving airs Thursday (i.e., “tonight” to most of you when you read this) and then again on Thanksgiving itself, at 8 PM on ABC in most U.S. time zones.

There’s a couple dozen reviews excerpted and mostly linked to, every review I can find… and not a bad one yet. And we’ve got one AAUGH Blog reader who added comments about the book. If you’ve got your copy, I’d love you to add your own comments about it.

Officially, it’s a “Super Chubby”

It briefly tells you that Charlie …
