2026! A new year is upon us. What better way to start a new year than with a classic old comic. This month, we take a closer look at Violet, she of the mudpie; a proto-Lucy. Is she really as soulless as I've made her out to be?

We also take a look at another episode of "Snoopy in Space", a "Random Strip of the Month", this month in Peanuts history, and this month in news and feedback.

Here's to 12 more months of Peanut-y goodness!

The holiday season is a big deal in the Peanuts universe. Sure, there's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and that's great, BUT did you know that in the 1960s, Charles Schulz drew not one but TWO original Christmas stories - "Charlie Brown's Christmas Stocking" and "The Christmas Story" which appeared in the December 1963 "Good Housekeeping Magazine" and December 1968 "Woman's Day Magazine" respectively? Me neither!

In 148, we take a look at those stories and, of course, the magazines they appeared in. We also have a Random Strip of the Month, This Month in Peanuts History, the latest news, and a look at another episode of "Snoopy in Space".

This Christmas stocking of a podcast episode is nearly bursting at the seams. Enjoy!

And you thought summer was over...

Well, Cloverhill Ranch is still open! For now! But, oh no! This is the last summer and then the camp closes for good! Charlie Brown and company in the new special on Apple TV+ "Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical" are so devastated, they have to sing about it. And they do. A lot. We break it all down in episode 145.

We also look at This Month in Peanuts History, a Random Strip of the Month courtesy of author Andrew Farago, and say goodbye to one of our favorite podcast segments as we check out our final "Peanuts by Schulz" episode.

Everybody's favorite beagle is front and center in 144. And I don't mean my dog Beans. It's Snoopy! (You knew that.) Author Andrew Farago returns to the podcast to tell us about channeling his inner beagle in his new book "Snoopy: The Story of My Life - The Myth, The Legend, The Beagle!"

For just any podcast, that would be more than enough. But not us! We've also got a Random Strip of the Month, a discussion of the "Peanuts by Schulz" episode "The Winter Games", news from in and around the Peanuts universe, and, of course, your feedback.

I think that'll do it.

Much like Schroeder pulls great art from a little toy piano, 142 pulls a dandy episode from my meager talent. We've got This Month in Peanuts History, a look at an episode of "Peanuts by Schulz" called "Even the Score", and we take a look at the greatest pianist since Rachmaninov as Schroeder gets his own Character Study. What's he like? Why is he like that? What's his role in the strip? Why piano and not the pan flute? So many questions. And we address them all in 142!
