The folks who do Peanuts comic books generally don’t just do Peanuts comic books. For example, Paige Braddock, who not only works on the comics but is Creative Director over at the Schulz studio, has a new for-kids graphic novel Stinky Cecil in Operation Pond Rescue, in which nature’s creatures stand up against land developers. (Have developers ever been the good guy in any story? According to fiction, all they do is destroy quaint little towns, beloved monuments, endangered nesting grounds, and Native American burial sites.) I haven’t grabbed up my copy yet, but it’s getting some good notices… and given how I like Paige’s online comic strip “Jane’s World”, that doesn’t particularly surprise.

I know a number of folks who have worked on the Peanuts comic book read this blog. Feel free to send me any announcements on new projects; I don’t guarantee to include them all, but there may be some audience here.

And speaking of such things – Scott Jeralds is illustrating the upcoming new book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas. I knew Scott and I had at times been doing comics fork for the same publisher, but I didn’t think we’d ever quite worked together… but the other day I was looking at a couple issue of The Flintstones that I had stories in, and while he wasn’t the artist who drew the stories, he did draw the covers based on my tales!
