"Charles M. Schulz" #
cartoonist and creator of Peanuts
by Michael A. Schuman
[children's biography]
(openlibrary.org loan)
There are a couple of things I
don't like about this book:
1: The author refers to Charles Schulz
by his last name only.
2: I didn't like learning that Charles Schulz
hated cats.  
On a more positive note, I like the fact
that he was the first major cartoonist
whose characters quoted the Bible.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
