Great thanks go out to Michael, who is doing his part to help those in need after Hurricane Sandy (and he got a bit of original artwork for his trouble).

Would you like to see new Peanuts comics from Charles Schulz, from the 1960s when he was at the height of his creative powers? I got my hands on this really nice book collecting two Peanuts magazine pieces Schulz did in 1963 and 1968 but which (I believe) have never been published since — Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking. Pristinely reconstructed, and absolutely consistent with the brilliant run he was on at the time.
Next, I'd like a previously unreleased album from the Beatles circa 1966, please.

My real-life buddy Tom Tomorrow has a new book out! Tom is a brilliant cartoonist, and the book looks fantastic.
And my pretend-time buddy (check out the very few who are being followed on the @donaldfagen twitter account) Donald Fagen has a new CD out: Sunken Condos! Seriously, I find it a bit odd how important the existence of a new Donald Fagen album is to my life. I've already listened to the free streaming track I'm Not the Same Without You a ridiculous amount of times. I hope no one's counting.

It's critical for the purposes of this plot that Billy Dare get that McGuffin!
