Lots of little Peanuts books in one big book

Coming in December is Peanuts 5-Minute Stories, which is a collection of earlier Peanuts storybooks – and by “earlier”, I mean “earlier than December”, not earlier that now; It’s Hockey Time, Franklin! has not yet been released. But it’s got a dozen books worth of tales between its hard covers, although none of them were particularly long and some of them, being board books originally, were particularly short. Still, at a list price of little more than a buck a book, it’s a bargain for this kind of stuff.

  1. Snoopy Takes Off!
  2. Go Fly a Kite, Charlie Brown!
  3. Lose the Blanket, Linus!
  4. It’s Hockey Time, Franklin!
  5. Cool Like Snoopy
  6. Messy Like Pigpen
  7. Sweet Like Sally
  8. Snoopy for President!
  9. Kick the Football, Charlie Brown!
  10. A Best Friend for Snoopy
  11. A Best Friend for Woodstock
  12. Snoopy and Woodstock’s Great Adventure

Schulz is from Tidal Wave, …

Not Peanuts, but not utterly not Peanuts

I saw a comics writer talking about a new project where he was taking some inspiration from Peanuts – as well as some from other sources — to do a story about a comic strip creator who is bringing his strip to an end, in a way with deep personal …
