Ah, THAT’s what that book is

I got a tad more information on the book Charles M. Schulz’ Charlie Brown that’s coming from Kaboom! next March. It’s another collection of stories from the Kaboom! Peanuts comics… but not a collection of previously-uncollected stories. Instead, it’s “best of” collection focused on stories about the round-headed kid. This 96 page hardcover should cover a lot of stories. (None of the ones I wrote, I’ll bet, because I wasn’t that focused on good ol’ CB. However, if they’re doing this, it’s likely just the first in a series of volumes. If they do a best-of-Snoopy collection, it’s at least theoretically possible that I’ll be in there; it depends on what the editor thinks of my stories. And if they keep going to best-of-Franklin or best-of-Rerun, I am in baybee!)

Schulz is from Tidal Wave, …
