In the grand, old tradition
This past Sunday’s Family Circus is a nice throwback to the days of classic comic strips, because it’s packed with lots of little fun background details. Click to picture to see a large scan.

The real reason why Mickey wanted to go to Paris…
ABC for Peanuts
The Daily Cartoonist reports that ABC-TV has signed a five-year contract to continue airing the Peanuts holiday specials. Which is good, because ten years after moving from CBS, I still need more time to get used to them being on ABC!
Peanotes
The 60th anniversary of Peanuts is only two months away. Here are some related items of note:
- Jeannie Schulz was at the 2010 Comic-Con in San Diego, where she received a well-deserved Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award.
- The Santa Rosa Press Democrat has an article about Craig Schulz, who runs Creative Associates, the company his father started to handle Peanuts licensing.
- Amy Schulz Johnson had a birthday a couple of days ago. Happy birthday, Amy!
- Nat Gertler on the AAUGH! blog points out an item about the time in 1960 when Lucy van Pelt submitted a political cartoon to a newspaper.
Arlo and Janis @ 25
Today was the 25th anniversary of Arlo and Janis!
Oops! Wrong Arlo and Janis. Here’s an Arlo and Janis original I got from Jimmy Johnson fifteen years ago, when Eric was only three. And now he’s shaving!
Congratulations, and thanks, to Jimmy for creating my favorite comic strip.
