Go to the comic book store for you free Peanuts comic

Just a reminder that this Saturday, May 4th, is Free Comic Book Day, when comic shops across America and beyond will be making free comic books available. At most places you’ll be able to get a few free comics with no required purchase…. and this year, a Peanuts comic book will be available at some but not all locations.

If this is your first time going to a comic shop, or if you only go there on Free Comic Book Day, take your time while you are there and take a look around. There’s a vast array of comics available these days, and you might well find the one that will catch your interest in particular. Free Comic Book Day is a great day to buy things as well (in fact, the retailers count on it; for some, it’s their most profitable day of the year.)

And yes, this is an annual event. It is literally scheduled for the first Saturday after my birthday ever year. Okay, maybe that’s easier for me to remember than you. I assume that’s why you didn’t buy me a present, you just forgot…

A new comic at Comic-Con

For some reason, the usual announcement of what would be for sale at the Peanuts booth this year just hasn’t shown up. Then cartoonist maze-maker Joe Wos dropped this image on social media: Beagle Scouts’ Life (the name is a play on the Boy Scouts of America magazine, which used …
