Good grief

Looks like a warts-and-all biography of "Peanuts" creator Charles Schulz is due out this week.

Not sure how I feel about this. Seems like we already knew Schulz was pretty miserable most of his life -- if he wasn't, could Charlie Brown have been such a lovable loser? -- but it feels a little like disturbing his rest to dig up negative things now, even if they're true. He never hurt anyone but himself, a true Charlie if ever there was one.
