114: DALE HALE AND CHUCK'S HEAD
It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown
In episode 114, we find out that everything we thought we knew about Charles Schulz is a lie. Ok, Not really. But it turns out despite a reputation for never working with an assistant, there was an exception - the original comic books published in the late fifties and early sixties. Jim Sasseville, Dale Hale and Tony Pocrnick each spent some time writing and drawing these spinoffs from the strip. We'll take a few minutes this episode talking specifically about Dale Hale - his Peanuts work and more. We've also got This Month in Peanuts History and an episode of "Peanuts by Schulz" called...

107: AUTHOR WILLIAM JOHNSON RETURNS
It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown
Another holiday season is upon us. In episode 107, instead of going out to find a scraggly little tree that just needs a little love, I found author William Johnson (The Complete History of Peanuts on Parade: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz) and dragged him inside instead. We have a wide-ranging discussion of Peanut-y goodness. A panoply of Peanuts, if you will. We also look at this month in Peanuts news and enjoy a Random Strip of the Month. Not a bad way to spend this holiday month. Join us! Thanks to Sean Courtney for the "This Month in Peanuts History" theme. Thanks to Nick Jones for...

106: HAPPINESS IS WHAT HAPPINESS IS
It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown
It's the holiday season! Who better to spend it with than Snoopy! It would be weird if "The Snoopy Show" said "Bert and Ernie" or something (not that I don't love them too). Fortunately, they went with the beagle and we're checking out Season 3, episode 13 (Yes, we're skipping some episodes. We'll fix it later.) "Happiness is Holiday Traditions". We also check out a "Peanuts by Schulz" episode called "Just for Love" and revisit This Month in Peanuts History.

105: GO FOR THE GOLD
It's a Podcast, Charlie Brown
WIth episode 105, go for the gold!...the golden aura you'll feel surround you from enjoying another episode. What? You thought I was going to send you a gold medal?!?! We've got "The Snoopy Show", S3, episode 7. Snoopy and friends give their all on the field of competetive play.

Thanks to Nick Jones for the use of his song "25% Off".
info_outlineThis month, much like the Pied Piper himself, episode 42 of the podcast will lure you away from all those other shows with a mesmerizing spell of Peanuts goodness. Wait, in that metaphor, that makes you all a bunch of rats. Never mind. *ahem*
Anyway, we're watching IT'S THE PIED PIPER, CHARLIE BROWN, a year 2000 (!) direct-to-video release; the first after Schulz died. We also say goodbye to THE CHARLIE BROWN & SNOOPY SHOW by reviewing episode 18, the final one, from 1985! This month's "Peanuts by Schulz" review is "Show Dog".
