The way the money falls
That silly annual dead-celebrities-with-the-highest-income list came out this week, and yes, they listed Sparky Schulz again, but to me that list is largely a potent mixture of dubious accuracy and none-of-my-business. But it does set me thinking about how creativity gets rewarded, or doesn’t. Schulz and his family, yes, no …
On the distribution of rocks, and justice
I suppose I should wave a SPOILER WARNING for anyone who has not seen It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, which I would estimate to be 0% of my readers. If somehow you have not seen that TV special, do One of the most beloved things in this fine special, …
It’s the IT’S THE GREAT PUMPKIN night tonight
For those of you in the USA, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown airs tonight at 8 (in most time zones) on ABC, followed by the abridged version of You’re Not Elected, Tim Pawlenty.
Schulz’s Youth by the case
I’m trying to clear some warehouse space, so… if anyone could use a lot of copies of Schulz’s Youth, the collection of the single panel cartoons that Schulz did for church publications, have I got a deal for you! For $120 (that’s $80 + $40 for shipping), you’ll get 38 …

It’s written by Karen Loucks Rinedollar, founder of the group. If you want the book, click the …
It IS a book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas
Remember when I said that the new book A Charlie Brown Christmas coming from Publications International was going to be a songbook and not an adaptation of the classic TV special? Well, I was half right, but half wrong as well — it’s a songbook and and adaptation! Oh frabjuous …
Les trésors, more Snoopy
Snoopy : Les trésors du chien le plus célèbre du monde. I didn’t even know this was coming out, but now it’s not just coming, it’s out! It’s my book The Peanuts Collection, but in French! (But to them, it’s about the Snoopy, not the Peanuts, I suppose.) Now to …
Charlie Brown’s Hidden Christmas Treasures
The second of the Peanuts Look And Find books, Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. is in my hands, and this is a book with some nice features for the dedicated Peanuts fan. As noted earlier, this is not a storybook, but a search-the-picture puzzle book. And to answer the lingering earlier …
