And some days, I just feel like posting the covers to a lot of Japanese Peanuts books
(Click through on any to order from Amazon Japan, if you can.)
Peanuts stamp a-comin’
According to supposed-to-be-secret documents grabbed up by the Washington Post, the US Postal Service has a Peanuts stamp in development for 2015. That year has, I feel, a little extra clue to the likely content. Yes, it’s the year that the movie comes out (and the post office has seemed …
