September will bring Peanuts fans The Collectable Peanuts Classic Box Set, a boxed set with all eight of the Happiness Is A Warm Puppy-format books that have been rereleased over the past year. So if you don’t have these fine books, or if you do but you think “these things …

Fantagraphics has announced that their Free Comic Book Day giveaway The Unseen Peanuts will be made of strips that appear in The Complete Peanuts volumes 1 through 8, but which have not appeared in previous reprints books. Since this comic book will be coming out at about the same time …

Not long after the book collection of Schulz’s It’s Only a Game came out, Jim Sasseville (Schulz’s collaborator for most of the run of that feature) was scheduled to appear at the Schulz Museum to do a signing. Unfortunately, the failing health which ultimately took his life prevented him from …

Coming in October from Ballentine Books is Play It Again, Schroeder, a paperback strip collection. For those looking for strips about music (or at least about girls leaning on pianos), here you go! The title for this, as with the title for the TV special Play It Again, Charlie Brown, …
