Security Blankets:  How Peanuts Touched Our Lives
Booksigning with authors Don Fraser and Derrick Bang
Cartoon Art Museum Event:  Saturday, October 3, 2009, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm
Free and open to the public

The Cartoon Art Museum welcomes authors Don Fraser and Derrick Bang on Saturday, October 3, 2009 from 1:00 to 3:00pm as they promote their new book Security Blankets:  How Peanuts Touched Our Lives.  This event is free and open to the public.

Don Fraser, a former Peanuts master licensee for more than 35 years, and co-founder of Aviva Enterprises and founder of Inetics, Inc., and Derrick Bang, author of 50 Years of Happiness: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz and Charles M. Schulz: Li'l Beginnings, have completed their first book in a planned series of tributes to Sparky Schulz.

For more than half a century, Charles Schulz and the Peanuts gang have brought laughter, pathos, sincerity and the principles of goodness and honesty to the comic pages and into the lives of more than ninety million Peanuts lovers around the globe.  Security Blankets celebrates Charles Schulz and his cartoon cast—Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, Lucy and the rest of the Peanuts gang—through more than fifty personal accounts of how Peanuts touched and transformed lives.  This collection of heartwarming, poignant, uplifting and celebratory tales was released in April 2009 by Andrews McMeel Publishing, a long-time participant in the Peanuts franchise.
