Sherlock Snoopy and Evil Schroeder

Evil Schroeder and Sherlock SnoopyI think some people assume that I’m known for my Peanuts knowledge because I have a good memory. Really, the opposite is the truth.  I’m known because I couldn’t trust my memory to remember which Peanuts books I had, and which books have the same contents as other books, so I started to make lists. And I posted those lists online, shared them, what eventually became the AAUGH.com collectors’ guide. At the moment, my memory is failing me in that half a year or so ago, I bought another filmstrip in the Charlie Brown’s Career Education set, and I scanned in some of the interesting images you see here with a plan to talk about them… but I no longer remember which of my pile of filmstrips it was, so I cannot refer to the accompanying booklet or audio tape to tell me what it’s about. Perhaps some day I’ll dig through them all to understand.

It briefly tells you that Charlie …
