FBI’s Follow-Up to Complete Peanuts

This is going to be in a similar two-years-at-once format, albeit shaped differently because Dennis was/is a panel rather than a strip. They also want to do Pogo again in this kind of format. A few other strips, with more limited runs, are in the planning stage. While this won't have as big an audience as Peanuts -- and by that I mean it could have a potential tiny fraction of that audience as I'm not sure there's anything approaching 1/100th of the desire to see the old Peanuts strips nor is there a publishing track record like there is with the Peanuts hardcore fans -- it should be interesting how sales do generally, and how they break down between hard-core comics fans and a more general audience for the character. I can't remember how this stuff reads, but it's impeccably designed. As I recall, FBI co-publisher Gary Groth is a big fan of Ketcham's work and is probably this project's driving force.
