The Amazon listing for the hardcover collecting Lucy-themed comic book stories has updated. The official title listing has changed from Charles Schulz’ Lucy to Charles M.

Charles M. Schulz’s Peanuts continue with brand new adventures and classic tales! Featuring a best of collection Snoopy’s comic book adventures.

This is what happens when you use a previous release as a template. Or maybe Snoopy is sneaking into this book the way he snuck into that second sentence! (Wait, is that even a sentence?? It grammar not sense make!)
