My Life with Charlie Brown is a collection of various prose essays that Schulz did for various publications, talking (generally) about Peanuts and his life as a cartoonist. For those studying Schulz, this is an interesting work. You’re apt to have seen much of the material before; the biggest chunk …

A couple photos which I took for, but which will not be used in, an upcoming project:

The book is a strip reprint… well, kind of. The strips reprinted are abridged editions, each brought down to two select …

I’ve always liked the Peanuts Philosophers books, a series of small hardbacks published by Hallmark in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
