Found this slightly strange digest one today. Vertical covers, looks like one of the regular digest collections from the outside. But the inside is printed landscape and picture book style.

When I was in third grade we had a spelling test, and one of the words was "Cookie." I spelled it "cookie," like any sane third grader would, but the teacher marked it as wrong. I took the graded test back up to her desk and protested, but she held firm. Cookie was spelled "cooky," she said. In anguish I turned to the classroom's set of Charlie Brown Encyclopedias, and looked it up. Sure enough, ol' Charlie Brown agreed with me: COOKIE. I showed the book to the teacher and she was PISSED.

I should pull my copy out and take some snaps of the insides for you all, but while I'm thinking about it... I found out about the oddest Peanuts peripheral release that I own from this review in TCJ. PEANUTS MINUS SCHULZ by Ilan Manouach and hundreds of anonymous microworkers. Popping in to the bubbles forum for the first time in many months and got a serious kick out of this TCJ article. Very curious about this book, would love for you to share some pics from it if you don't mind! Fascinating stuff.

not strange in content as its just reprints from other books and strips but in the uk (and i believe australia, new zealand and south africa), there was paperbacks published by coronet book / hodder fawcett that reorganised the stips vertically and sometimes in mildly funky layouts

I can relate, as I'm often drawing comics with no thought to layout/format size and have to get creative at times.

Got a kick out of the strange peanuts books article -- my mother in law is a writer and cherishes her copy of Snoopy's Guide to the Writing Life, which she has assured me she'll give to me someday. I had never seen the Time magazine sex ed cover and it really blew my mind -- very risqué for schulz! Thanks for writing it up Brian!
