Cowabunga indeed!
I just received a couple new Peanuts books, one I’ll talk about later, but for now, I’ve got one that’s making me quite happy: Snoopy: Cowabunga!, the first in the “Amp” series of strip collections aimed at kids. And it really is nicely put together, and priced well for the …
My quarry eludes me!
The mostly-clothing store Kohl’s regular runs Kohl’s Cares merchandise, special products (generally, kids’ books and stuffed animals) that they sell for $5, with the profits going to charity. And with Christmas shopping season coming up, they’ve just launched the new campaign with about a dozen Peanuts items… five stuffed characters, …
Upcoming Nat stories – and a free offer
So yesterday, Peanuts 12 came out with my longest Peanuts story, “Movie Time”. For those of you who preorder your comic books (which is some of you) and for those of you who buy your Peanuts comics based on whether or not there’s a Nat Gertler story in them (which …
Surf’s in
As I mentioned the other day, when Amazon says that a book is delayed a few weeks, sometimes it means it is delayed a few weeks, sometimes it means that they don’t know what’s going on. As proof, Snoopy: Cowabunga, the book that I was told Tuesday would likely be …

Snoopy thought he was writing about Linus…
That’s Linux: Konzepte, Kommandos, Oberflächen from 2003… go order it if you need it!
Hey, it’s my story from Peanuts 12
Over at Comic Vine, they have an exclusive preview of next week’s issue 12 of Kaboom’s Peanuts comic book. Better yet, the preview is basically the first 5 pages of my 8 page story “Movie Time”! So go read!
From the What IS That file
Coming in May is Port-A-Snoopy, and about all Amazon tells us about it is that it’s a one-page paperback. I mean, how do you even do that? Is this the first comic strip that’s a moebius strip? (Pssst: Apparently, they’ve moved the Peanuts Christmas Cookie Set back from August to …
A month you may eventually need
I’ve seen 12 month calendars a-plenty. I’ve seen 18 months, 15 months, and I think I’ve even seen a 13 month calendar at one point. But never, to my recollection, have I ever seen a single month calendar sold as a separate item. Until now. Yes, if you are in …
