Quick update — we’re changing our plan. New episodes will remain free for everyone. After rethinking the schedule (and hearing from listeners), we decided to keep the podcast open to all. Big thanks to everyone who supports us. New season starts Sept 2 with a focus on everyone's favorite beagle.

Thanks for having me aboard! It was great talking with y'all, and I hope that everyone listening hears the fun we had.

(But credit where credit is due; I am merely CO-author of Schulz: 100 Objects; I share the Eisner Award for it with the mighty @benjaminlclark.com !)

Thanks Todd Webb for sharing these pages of Charles Schulz's Preliminary Drawings from McSweeney's Quarterly Concern #13. We've been wondering what they looked like.
