Coming in March is a revised, redesigned edition of the Peanuts quote book Everything I Need to Know, I Learned from Peanuts.

And having gotten that out of the way, and finding that this first blog post in days is quite short, I’m going to be horribly exploitive of this blog and promote two of my non-Peanuts-related projects that are now out.

• Jenny’s City is an original Nat Gertler creation, a comic book concept about a little girl who finds herself the only human left in a big city, and has adventures while exploring and surviving. The book is actually a comic book proposal, the sort of thing one might show prospective publishers; it includes two complete 10-page stories (art by the talented Tess Fowler), plus scripts for two more tales and basic plots for more. So for those few of you who have taken an interest in my writing, here some more!
• With my publisher hat on, I have the joy of reprinting a New York Times best-selling… coloring book?!? That’s right; JFK Coloring Book is a satirical political work that landed on the non-fiction best-seller list for 14 weeks in 1962. Presented as though it’s a coloring book written by four year old Caroline Kennedy (but actually written by publisher Alexander Roman, stand-up comedian Jackie Kannon, and Mad Magazine’s Paul Laikin), the coloring book is page after page of beautiful caricatures by Mort Drucker, who spent decades filling the pages of Mad Magazine. To make it more of a value, I’ve added in a guide to who the depicted people were… and then I added in a whole second book of Drucker political caricatures (Political Wind-ups, written by Roman, Kannon, and Rochelle Davis) and a guide to the people in that one as well. All for a mere $7.99 list price.
