Is Small World the first stab at Peanuts 2?
Peanuts is almost certainly the most influential humor strip in the history of the medium, but from time to time it has been more than an artistic influence on a creative mind; there have been strips that have pretty clearly tried to be The Next Peanuts, although they’ve had different …
The Peanuts comic book – a review
I just got a review PDF of the new Peanuts issue 0, which should hit better comic shops on Wednesday. The cover announces New Stories, which is not the more common announcement of All-New Stories, and that difference is there for a reason, as you’ll see. The contents are: “Carnival …
Not that Charlie Brown times 2
There’s a section of the AAUGH.com reference library dedicated to books that have the name Charlie Brown in the title but are not referring to that Charlie Brown. It’s a very small section, with only two or three books in it. And lately, there’s been a category of AAUGH Blog …
It IS a book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas
Remember when I said that the new book A Charlie Brown Christmas coming from Publications International was going to be a songbook and not an adaptation of the classic TV special? Well, I was half right, but half wrong as well — it’s a songbook and and adaptation! Oh frabjuous …
Lucy Says
Lucy Says, the latest and penultimate in the Wendy’s Kids’ Meal series, is maybe not quite what you’d expect. Now don’t get me wrong – it is indeed 10 pages of Lucy quotes (eight quotes in all), illustrated with pictures of Lucy. However, it’s not the quotes you might first …
Charlie Brown’s Hidden Christmas Treasures
The second of the Peanuts Look And Find books, Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. is in my hands, and this is a book with some nice features for the dedicated Peanuts fan. As noted earlier, this is not a storybook, but a search-the-picture puzzle book. And to answer the lingering earlier …
Halloween beats Christmas
It doesn’t seem likely, but this year there are actually more new books of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown than of the perennial book-generator, A Charlie Brown Christmas! The latest edition to be added to the list is the Play-a-Sound edition published by Publications International. This is a board …
Did you know there’s a book editon of A Charlie Brown Christmas?
The AAUGH Blogger is happy, and if the AAUGH Blogger is happy, odds are good that there’s a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. And there is! This isn’t a new-from-the-ground-up edition, however. It’s a version of the sound-button book that was a Hallmark exclusive last year. But …
Trick or Treat or Look Or Find, Great Pumpkin
The It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Look and Find book is an oversized one of busy pictures, each of which has a handful of specific items your children (or, on a quiet day, yourself) is supposed to search for. This puts it in the same category as the Where’s …
Great Pumpkin leaf globe and sticker book
The It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown Leaf Globe set is a little boxed gift with a snow-globe-like object and a book of stickers. It’s published by Running Press, who make some nice books but whose boxed gifty things I usually find underwhelming. The good news is that the stickers …
