Good grief, free Peanuts!

Get your 'Lost' Peanuts strips -- free Saturday's sixth annual Free Comic Book Day, timed to coincide with the opening of Spider-Man 3, will include a potential collector's item: Unseen Peanuts, a 32-page collection of more than 150 newspaper strips that had never been reprinted. "It's a sampling of some of Charles M. Schulz's most unique strips," says Eric Reynolds of Fantagraphics Books, which is reprinting the entire Peanuts run. "It's also the first Peanuts comic book in 40 years, which is kind of cool."

Do you think this comic will have the strip where Lucy pulls the football away and Charlie Brown smacks her one?
