You’re a Good DVD, Charlie Brown
The official announcement came out today: the animated version of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown is coming to DVD for the first time in January. I’ve known for a while that this was coming, because they interviewed me for the new featurette on the making of this special. Don’t …
