First Look: The Complete Peanuts 1985-1986 & 1983-1986 Box Set
I gotta say, even after 9 years of this (well, at least for 6, which is how long I've been here), it's still a pretty big thrill when the advance copies of the new volume of The Complete Peanuts show up at the office.

These guys'll be available in a couple of months — stay tuned for previews!
