In the past, I’ve discussed Charlie Brown’s Career Education Program, a series of film strips from 1979. I even showed you some scans of the Latina character Dolores, and of the film strip You May Live Underwater, Charlie Brown. Up until now, I’ve had 3 film strips in this 35 film strip series. Thanks to yesterday’s arrival, I’ve got 25. Oh, okay, I’ve got 23, plus two doubles, and I think I’ve discovered that it’s actually a 36 film strip series. But this gives me a lot to look at… once I get my film scanner set up, get a cassette player out, and get to look at it all. This will take a while. I’ve got hours of late-1970s goodness to go through here!

The World According to Snoopy and sundry other things

I just picked up a copy of The World According to Snoopy, which was released in the UK late last year. This hardcover book, with its cover akin to a 1970s textbook, falls into the “inspirational messages” category. It’s pages are a mix of single-page displays of individual Peanuts strips (always …
