I’m still doing the December Photo Challenge for YesVideo and today’s photo was to be of Best Friends. I was going to get the kittens together but James was licking himself most inappropriately right on top of Toruun and well, nobody needed to see that, least of all me and Allison.
So I opted for Snoopy and his pal Woodstock. They are the best friends of Christmas that I think of.
I’ve been reading Charles Schulz’s book Around the World in 45 years. It is a collection of strips to commemorate his 45 year of drawing Peanuts. While the book is not outstanding, I would have liked more insight into each strip rather than a select few in the beginning, it does have charm. The charm is in the comic strips. I am a huge Peanuts fan and have begun to compile my own collection of the Fantagraphics collected years of strips. I even got a couple more books from Allison this past Christmas.
As far as Around the World in 45 years is concerned I really enjoyed the foreword by Lynn Johnston who writes For Better or For Worse. I also liked some of the explanations by Schulz about the comics in the beginning of the book. I’m halfway through the comics themselves. All in all I like it.
