Sure, I've Plugged It Before.
And I'll Do It Again in a Heartbeat

Plug this one as much as you want - I picked it up yesterday and already am looking forward to six months from now!

Can't buy this until I get paid again, but I've browsed through it in a couple shops, and I'm very impressed. The strips are a little smaller than I expected (for some reason, I had it in my head that it would be two per page instead of three per), but otherwise, it's a lovely package.

The twelve-and-a-half year publishing plan interests me, too. I assume Seth's designs will generally be complete well before then, but perhaps I'm wrong on that count. I also have a small worry that Fantagraphics might be gone by 2016 but let's certainly hope I'm wrong on that count--not just for Peanuts but also for the other excellent material it publishes.
