...The One-Minute Pundit

Tuesday, October 09, 2007


EditorandPublisher.com is plugging a new bio of Charles Schulz, complete with this telling detail:

-- When Lynn Johnston told Schulz that Farley the dog would die in "For Better or for Worse," Schulz threatened to have Snoopy hit by a truck if Johnston went though with the plan. So the Universal Press Syndicate creator kept the timing of Farley's death a secret from "Sparky," as Schulz was known to friends and family.

Even though the hacks are already turning Schulz into...Beethoven -- he suffered mightily, they must tell us, while churning out an alleged billion in merchandise a year -- you still have to like the guy.
