FiveCentsPlease.org's annual tradition celebrating the approach of Christmas with the Peanuts gang starts Friday, November 27. A different single-panel comic with a holiday theme will appear on our home page each day through December 25.
Like previous years, we're presenting a classic countdown from the past, since new ones are no longer being made.
However, this time we have something special: a few months ago, dedicated research efforts by FiveCentsPlease.org co-host Derrick Bang uncovered 12 years of previously lost countdown panels, from 1985 through 1996. (You can read all about his hunt in his blog post from earlier this week.)
So, this year we're reprinting the 1987 Christmas countdown panels, unseen (as far as we know) since their original run over 30 years ago.
Unfortunately, the sources for these panels weren't high quality and required a fair bit of cleanup, and as a result, they aren't as crisp or detailed as the panels from the late 1990's and 2000's that we've been running before.
We hope you'll enjoy visiting our home page each day to see these newly recovered bits of seasonal Peanuts history!
