And the humor is so internal. Well, I&#8217;ve found a book that does the best job yet of making it work. <strong>It&#8217;s Your Year, Charlie Brown<\/strong>\u00a0takes the smart move of being Charlie Brown&#8217;s journal for a year. That means that the whole thing has a point of view, and isn&#8217;t just a narration of events. The story bits are all taken from stories from the strip, with some attempt to play them into a larger narrative. There are black and white images on most pages, taken from the strip. Anyway, big points to Sally Morgan, who wrote this thing.<\/p>\n<p>This is a British book published by Scholastic, but with no US edition\u00a0yet in sight.
