25 years ago, on February 13, 2000 the final "Peanuts" comic strip was released. It followed the death of Charles M. Schulz the day before, as he passed away only a few hours before its publication, serving as his final farewell to his readers.
@luv4music1231 When I was a kid, a bunch of us blind kids in North America got a book from Twin Vision. It was a Peanuts book, called "Home is on Top of a Doghouse". Almost all of the pictures in the book had extremely well-done tactiles, as well as a transcriber's note description. For the few pictures where they weren't able to do a tactile, we still got the description. It was an absolutely awesome, awesome book!
@Bruce That sounds pretty cool actually.
@luv4music1231 It really was. It was one of three such books I remember getting. Another was Famous Quotations. It only had one tactile, but that was of a space suit worn by Neil Armstrong. The third book, even cooler than the first, was called The Shapes of Musical Instruments. In addition to all the instruments, there was a tactile showing the seating arrangement for a standard orchestra.
@luv4music1231 @Bruce I would have loved to have felt those tactiles. The main books or magazines that I remember were the annual Expectations books. I also remember another book about a car named Marty and there was a tactile image of a car but I can't remember the title. Hadn't thought about that book in decades.
