Nat Gertler over at The AAUGH Blog points out there’s a full-featured (i.e., Flash) Web site for the new book, Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography. Be sure to watch the video, with author David Michaelis. I can see why Schulz’s lost love, Donna Wold, said “I saw pictures of his wife [Joyce] in the newspaper; she looked very pretty.”
I’m very interested in learning more about Joyce, whose daughter Meredith was adopted by Schulz. Watch the video I posted here nearly a year ago to see a few moments of Meredith, whose age was given as 14 in 1963. Schulz had his marriage license backdated to 1949 when he married Joyce in 1951.
ADDED NOTE: I’ve downloaded the promo video for the biography and have put it here.

Thanks! I corrected it. Was thinking ahead to typing ’51 when I thought I was typing ’49.
Minor typo you got there – he backdated it to 1949.
Makes more sense that way!
