I’ve run into a few books lately about other dogs named Snoopy… which is hardly anything new, as there were books about dogs named Snoopy before there was Peanuts. But this is a first, I think. It’s by Snoopy. And he’s not a dog… (Note that the story is “as told …

Found at Amazon Japan, and actually available to be shipped from Japan via Amazon US: PEANUTS meets SPECIAL PRODUCT DESIGN 2. I assume that’s supposed to be a tan, and not African American Surfing Snoopy… but you never know. The volume comes with a free shopping bag bearing this image.

I’m grooving on these Italian book covers, which use a different text sensibility than one typically sees on Peanuts books. (Click on the book to go to ordering page.)

Shipping in a few weeks is the latest volume in The Complete Peanuts, covering the years 1991-1992. I’ve already got a copy (provided by the publisher, Fantagraphics, with whom I have business dealings on other books), and here are my thoughts on reading through it: The introduction by cartoonist Tom …

This year’s Kaboom! Summer Blast! comic book, given away at comic book shops yesterday, includes the five-page story How To Be A World-Famous Author by Vicki Scott and Paige Braddock, reprinted from issue 14 of volume 2 of the Kaboom! Peanuts comic book, as well as a one Sunday strip reprint. …

I have landed my copy of Be Unique, the latest in the “Peanuts Wisdom to Carry You Through” series of full-color gift books, with quotes from the strip (and in one case, directly from Schulz rather than speaking through his characters)  and images inspired by the strip, brought to life by …

The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference library is the December, 1958 issue of Better Homes and Gardens, the popular woman’s magazine. Now, if you’ve bought Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking, you would’ve seen two Christmas stories that Schulz did for other women’s magazines during the 1960s… but the original Peanuts story in …

I’m already on the record as liking the Amp! Comics For Kids line, as you can see in my review of the first volume in the series, Snoopy: Cowabunga!. Let me stick with that review, in general – these full-color strip collections of reasonable thickness, at a reasonable price, and …
