Coming: How to Draw Peanuts for Kids
In January, the book How to Draw Peanuts for Kids: Create Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Linus, and the Gang will hit us, turning all kids into microSchulzes. I don’t yet know who is developing it — the author is listed as Charles M. Schulz, but the text of the blurb says merely …
It’s all relative
If you grew up in a small town, you might have occasionally stumbled across the fact that two people you thought were unlinked were actually relatives. Generations of people living in the same town mean that a lot of family tress have cross-fertilized at various times. Now, in the Peanuts …
Award-winning Snoopy
I’m at a convention this week. Went to an award ceremony today, and something Peanuts got an award. Now, I’m used to seeing that happen when I go to comic convention award ceremonies… but this wasn’t a comics convention. It’s a museum store convention, for folks who run the gift …

Past Peanuts anniversaries have sometimes had several books waving the sign that this is an anniversary book, but this year, at least one book is proclaiming that it is the one and only Peanuts 75th Anniversary book. The Essential Peanuts: The Greatest Comic Strip of All Time will be a slipcased …
