I’ve got my copy of A Treasury of Happiness now, the single volume collecting the eight Happiness Is gift books. Before I make any comment, though, I have to raise my “conflict of interest” flag – and not just my usual “I make money when people click the link and …

If you’ve got iTunes set up, this link should take you to the free sample of the new Peanuts cartoon, including two episodes of the 20 they’re making this season. They run about three and a half minutes each, plus credits. In this case, the two episodes really cover one …

Yes, yes, I gave in. I went and bought a copy of the Hallmark edition of the new A Charlie Brown Christmas book adaptation, even though I already owned the standard bookstore edition.  I’m thinking about doing a picture spread on all the adaptations that have been put out of …

The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970 will be shipping soon. Should you buy it? Well, yes, of course. If you’re reading the AAUGH Blog, you’re the sort of person who should be buying all these volumes. Why do you even ask me such silly questions? Having just finished reading through it, I …

A couple years back, a talented one-time collaborator of mine named Adam Rex came out with a children’s book of humorous poems about monsters, called Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich. I meant to blog about that here not only because the book was very funny (which it was) but because when …

I’m back from Texas, where (in addition to a fun signing) I had time to read through the latest Complete Peanuts volume. There is a lot of interesting stuff there, of course. Such as: Which member of the cast is on the payroll of the Central Intelligence Agency? Which kid’s …
