An apology

Now shipping

EasrBThe blog’s been a little dry lately. Sure, I try to put up what I hope are interesting odd things like the piece on the person who provided Lucy’s drawing for Snoopy and “It Was a Dark and Stormy Night”, or yukking it up a bit about the plethora of the books with the title Snoopy and Friends. But when I went to steer someone to the blog the other day, I realized that the front page was filled up with all of the more mechanical taks of this blog – announcement of upcoming books, covers for already-announced books, some basic descriptors of the latest books to arrive, mentioning which books have started to ship. (Toward that end: the strip collection You’re Golden, Charlie Brown has started to ship, and here’s the cover for next year’s Easter Beagle adaptation.) Add to that that a lot of my Peanuts efforts are focused on a project that won’t be announced for months, so I can’t show you some of the cool stuff I’ve been looking at. So my apologies go out to anyone who feels it’s all been a little dry lately. I’ll try to keep finding things I can share. Stick with me, folks!
