A further look at The Peanuts Collection
Ah, time to return to our flip-through of my upcoming book, The Peanuts Collection, which the publisher seems to think folks will want — it’s tied for 70th place in terms of print run for books announced for October release. (For those of you not in the book biz – …
Political Cartoon by Charles Schulz
Here’s a find! In mid-July, 1960, Schulz did a run of strips about Lucy trying to become a political cartoonist: Well, one newspaper asked for a copy of Lucy’s cartoon – and Schulz sent it to them! Click through and take a look. I sure do.
He’s Your Dog and Christmas Tales coming to DVD
Despite the talk about the upcoming Happiness is a Blanket, Charlie Brown, that’s not the next DVD up. Here are a couple that will be shipping in the next couple months. He’s Your Dog, Charlie Brown offers up one of the early specials… one that’s already on DVD on the …
Schulz recycles
Ach! I was doing a little research, and discovered that the Schulz prose story was really not original to The World’s Shortest Stories of Love and Death, as I suggested in this earlier post. Rather, it was an edited-down-for-length version of the story that Snoopy is seen writing in this …
