Schulz uncovered

For those of you who want every bit of Schulz (in more ways than one), coming this October from Fantagraphics is Naked Cartoonists, a collection of undraped self-portraiture by some of the most recognizable names in the comics biz. Sparky is in there, as are other such hotties as Lynn Johnston, Jules Feiffer, Sergio Aragones, Bil Keane, Al Jaffee, Scott Adams, Morrie Turner, and Will Eisner.

You can, of course, preorder it through Amazon (and I’ll get my nice little kickback for that), but if you either want to find out more or you just want to see the Schulz piece, go here and watch the video at the bottom; it shows Schulz’s drawing, among others.
