I've seen a dozen online videos about the Colbert/Kimmel/Free Speech Suppression matter but you can find them yourself if you like. I'll post a video later that will be something silly to take your mind off this stuff. You can't have a sense of proper perspective on anything if you don't get your mind off it now and then.

My new book — The Essential Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz: The Greatest Comic Strip of All Time — theoretically ships from Amazon in a little over two weeks. I have no information as to whether it will or will not but I notice that they've dropped the price on it. If you're thinking of ordering, this is probably the best time. If you already ordered it at the previous price, I think they may owe you a few dollars.

I'll be busy the next few weeks doing press and promotions and a lot of podcasts, podcasts and more podcasts in support of this book. I'll try to link you to all of them in case (a) you want to hear them and (b) I say anything worth hearing. I can't guarantee either of those things happening. I will be appearing at the Charles M. Schulz Museum — a dandy place to visit whether I'm there or not — on November 15. Details are here. Before I depart the Bay Area, I'll be signing said book at at least one other place, details to follow. I rarely go anywhere to sign books I write but I rarely am as pleased with a book I wrote as I am with this one.

Be back later.
