* Andrew Mansell on Peanuts makes the case that 1963-1966 is the prime period in the prime period. I've seen people argue this more generally, but this is the first time I've seen a writer about comics use the Fantagraphics collections to make their point a bit more explicit and exact. Mansell also recommends that 1981-1982 volume that a lot of folks, me included, found fascinating.
* finally, Johanna Draper Carlson makes a point that crops up every now and then: if people are going to continue moving around the country, and that may be the case, digital is going to look really appealing when compared to keeping all of that pulp.
