the sweetest Snoopy book

I found this at a 99 Cents Only store today: Of course, despite the “title”, it’s not actually a book at all. Flip open that cover with every licensee’s favorite Peanuts image, and you’ll find six rolls of LifeSavers-like candy. In fact, the whole affair is an imitation of the …

Oh, okay, more on A Charlie Brown Christmas books

Not my fault! People send in questions (to questions@AAUGH.com ), and while I won’t answer them all, and much less answer them publicly,  this one I felt called for a public answer. Steve from Michigan was asking, in regard to this book: What I dont understand though is why that …

Nat should be talking about A Charlie Brown Groundhog Day by now…

Yes, yes, I’m writing about book adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas again. It’s a mania, I tell ya, a mania! Today, the mail brought a first printing of the original book adaptation. Now, I know what you’re thinking — didn’t I already have a first printing? In fact, lots …

Golf like a dog

I just added two more pieces to my Peanuts publications pile: Welcome to Golf is a 32-page self-covered booklet from 1994 covering the basics of golf for the newcomer, not so much the rules as why to golf, where to golf, and how to avoid getting on the nerves of …

A whole treasury full o’ happiness

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 …

those new Peanuts cartoons now on-line

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 …

Why you’re glad you’re not me

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 …

It’s Springtime, Snoopy

Just added to the shelves of the AAUGH.com reference library… well, not to the shelves, they’re pretty full, but to one of the piles near the shelves (I really do have to get this all straightened out one day) is It’s Springtime Snoopy, which is really a beginning English language …
