We’ve finally got the cover for next month’s new book on the making of It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. Now available for preorder (at a discount, of course!) Despite what Amazon is listing now, expect it mid-month.
A clarification, a correction, a comment, and a coming-now book
Some quick notes: Some of you seem to have gotten the wrong end of the stick with my announcement of the book Schulz’s Youth. When I describe the book as containing teenager cartoons, I mean they’re cartoons Schulz did about teenagers, not ones he drew when he was a teenager. …
Pig Pen and Crush covers

Peanuts books on their way (some, rather sooner than others)
