SEATTLE -- When cartoonist Charles M. Schulz passed away, he left behind an amazing body of work, including half a century of his beloved comic strip, Peanuts. Now, a Northwest publishing company is bringing new life to this American classic.Fantagraphics is known for publishing darker, less civil stuff than Peanuts, but the company presented a series design proposal that met with the approval of Jeannie Schulz, the cartoonist's widow, according to Johnson.
Seattle publisher Fantagraphics is presenting Charles M. Schulz's entire comic series in chronological order, releasing a new Peanuts book every six months for more than 12 years. That’s 50 years of comics in 25 books...
The current publicity is coinciding with the release of Volume 3 in the series.
The Complete Peanuts, Volume 3: 1955-1956
There is a Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa, California. From http://www.schulzmuseum.org/ I find that there's this on offer:
Top Dogs: Comic Canines Before and After Snoopy, Saturday, April 23rd through September 26th, 2005...This rare and unique display will feature approximately 50 cartoons from the era of Krazy Kat, Buster Brown, The Yellow Kid & Tippie through Blondie, Napoleon, Little Orphan Annie and Pogo to current features such as Mutts, Pickles, Luann, The Far Side, Dilbert, Red & Rover, Mother Goose & Grimm, Duncan, For Better or For Worse, Rhymes with Orange, and Marmaduke...
