Charles M. Schulz
Chris SchweizerChris Schweizer

Today's Charles Schulz's 100th birthday. Peanuts means a lot to me and my family, but there's one factor of his work that I've thought about an awful lot, and which I wrote about in a (comics) essay for a Peanuts tribute book some years back. 1/2 https://t.co/Dl8tVgemXv

Reminder: if you like this A+ dynamic then you should read Charles Portis’s TRUE GRIT, an easy contender for greatest American novel, where a judgy girl hires a mean, drunk, trigger-happy, one-eyed, crooked lawman to escort her into the wilderness to hunt down her dad’s murderer. https://t.co/akOs76tlbi

The Sign of the Four: Featuring Sherlock Holmes

Arthur Conan Doyle
Chris SchweizerChris Schweizer

For a long time, the Arthur Conan Doyle Estate (not his heirs) dubiously insisted that, because those stories influence the perception and identity of Holmes, any original material featuring Sherlock Holmes (i.e. not adaptations of public domain stories) required their OK. 2/more
