Snoopy’s Many Faces
I’ll admit that I haven’t had time to actually read The Many Faces of Snoopy, because I’ve been spending a lot of time reading the 24 hour comics made during 24 Hour Comics Day, as well as handling some of the preperations for Schulz’s Youth. And this is a thick …
Getting “They Called Him Sparky”
I’ve gotten some questions about how people can lay their hands on They Called Him Sparky, the book with comments on Schulz from his Church of God days. No, it’s not available through Amazon or most of the regular sources. Instead, order it direct from the author – more information …
Complete Peanuts update
Things have been hectic here of late, and I forgot to note that both The Complete Peanuts 1961-1962 and the nicely cheap boxed set covering 1959-1962 are now shipping. Oh, and as long as I’m talking about The Complete Peanuts, I should note that the German edition is about to …
Review: Peanuts Lunchtime Cookbook
The first thing that jumps out at you about the Peanuts Lunchtime Cookbook is that all three words of the title are compound words, made my combining two shorter words. Oh, okay, it may not be the first thing to jump out at you, but I’m a nerd boy. This …
A clarification, a correction, a comment, and a coming-now book
Some quick notes: Some of you seem to have gotten the wrong end of the stick with my announcement of the book Schulz’s Youth. When I describe the book as containing teenager cartoons, I mean they’re cartoons Schulz did about teenagers, not ones he drew when he was a teenager. …
Peanuts books on their way (some, rather sooner than others)
Don’t Give Up, Charlie Brown!, the full color gift book, is now shipping. And you can now preorder March’s The Dirt on Pig Pen, as well as the two Complete Peanuts volumes for 2008: the 1967-1968 volume, and 1969-1970. I don’t recommend placing those preorders now – you’ll pay full …
Pig Pen Product
Coming in May of next year is The Dirt on Pig Pen, a 96 page paperback strip collection. “But Nat!” you cry. “How can I plan now to buy next year’s books? I don’t have a 2007 calendar to track such things on!” Lucky for you, you can now order …
The Completely Different Language Peanuts
I told you previously about the Chinese edition of The Complete Peanuts coming out of Taiwan. Now I find that there is a French edition and an upcoming German edition, so if you want to read every Peanuts strip but don’t want the headaches that come with reading English, then …
It’s both nice -and- a dump!
At left, you should see a picture of a dump, which is the book business term for a display that holds books. This one you might start seeing in stores in September. It features all the new Cider Press editions of the old Determined Productions books. In this case, half …
Complete Peanuts 5 now shipping
Forgive me for falling behind folks – I’ve had my advance copy of The Complete Peanuts volume 5: 1959-1960 for a while now, but life has not allowed me the time to read and review it. Not that it should need much review; this is Peanuts really heading into what …
