I saw that book in a store a few months back and was surprised! There was one other huge error in it about the The Beach boys which I can't recall now.......?

A lot of people tend to die when there's a sense of closure. I remember one of my philosophy instructors said how her father had cancer, and one day he decided to finally fix the tool shed after it had some problem for years, and the very next day he was dead. And remember season 3 of The Real World? Pedro Zamora died the day the final episode aired.

That's not true, but he died less than a month after. Weird enough.

Actually, he DID die the day of -- we're talking the full-bodied Sunday comic, not the abridged weekday version of the same strip.

FOTM -- don't worry; I don't think November 1 will bring Brian any sense of closure...from what I gather, he's pretty far removed from it...

Well, he retired a month before - the last strip was published in the event of his passing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanuts#The_end_of_Peanuts

... and has been for 13 years, according a book called Chart Toppers that I found. Observe:


Like how the insert says that man standing with them is Murry Wilson, when it really isn't.

I have a large book from the late 70s with that photo in it by John Tobler. He also claims that it was Murray Wilson. I don't see it. Can anyone varify?

Or mayhaps you philosophy instructor's father just overworked himself.

A lot of people die with a legit depressing amount of unfinished business. Elliott Smith's last album comes to mind, although that's probably a minor example.

Just to clarify, comic artists generally run between two and six weeks ahead of schedule in terms of drawing, and often longer ahead on the Sunday strips than the daily strips, so Schultz retired, but it took another month or so for the strip to stop running.  In the end, Schulz died the day before the last strip was scheduled to run: it was not published in the event of his passing, it would have been published anyway (the wikipedia article is a bit misleading.)

 Not that anyone probably cares, but newspaper comics is one of my few non-beach-boys interests.

Ah, I see  Smiley I was pretty much raised on Peanuts, but being a Britisher I just had tonnes of paperback collections instead of seeing it in the paper everyday. That must have been a treat.
