Sorry I’ve been letting the rest of life get in the way of my blogging lately. I’ve had much of general reality to handle… with a thing or two for the Peanuts fans that I’ll tell you about eventually. Anyway, the fall solicitations have been showing up, with some upcoming Peanuts …

I’ve got some catching up to do as this fall’s book solicitations hit the system. A number of things need to be logged’n’blogged, and life is pretty full at the moment, but I wanted to get right to pointing out that you can now preorder The Complete Peanuts volume 26: Comics …
