I still haven’t gotten clearance to talk about that October book.
But for those of you who asked, there is more info to be linked to!
More info on the upcoming book
March 6th, 2010What Complete Peanuts and the Oscars have in common
March 6th, 2010If you tune in to the Oscars tomorrow night, you’ll see Alec Baldwin co-hosting things and introducing people.
And if you like seeing Mr. Baldwin introducing, then you’ll be happy this September, when volume 14 of The Complete Peanuts appears, as he provides the introduction there as well. It’s available for preorder now, as is the boxed set which contains volumes 13 and 14.
As always, if you want to see what Peanuts books are available for preorder, you can stop by our list of upcoming books.
An upcoming book
March 3rd, 2010As I’ve said before, when I’m on the “inside” of some project, I’m not always free to talk about the details.
But no one can fault me for linking to a listing that’s already on Amazon….

Things I’d be adding to the AAUGH.com reference library if shipping from Japan wasn’t so costly

Ten years later, part 2
February 13th, 2010Ten years ago today, the final Peanuts strip came out.
It seemed like the end of Peanuts, but really it wasn’t. The strips were still there, and so few of us had read them all, so there was still much more to discover. There are still rarely-seen pieces being unearthed to delight the dedicated Peanuts fan, and there are still new Peanuts fans coming into being all the time. My daughter wasn’t alive when the strip ended, but now she delights in what she sees and still has so much of the strip to discover. New Peanuts animation has continued, first on TV and more recently on computer. The characters still reach out in ways beyond storytelling media – how many people will visit a theme park with a new Planet Snoopy this year? Peanuts books have clearly not stopped, some reminding us of what we know, some looking at it all in different ways.
Perhaps the day shall come when Peanuts is done, when it is almost solely a referenced relic like Fibber McGee, or is known only in a form far removed from its source, like Buster Brown. But that day is not now, it does not look to be soon, and every time you share a good strip with someone, you delay it that much further.
