The first addition to the AAUGH.com Reference Library for the year – it’s a book! Well, it would be a book, if I stuffed it and sewed it together. Which I shan’t, because I want to keep it in mint condition, and because I’m a lousy seamster, and because in …

My choice of what the finest non-adaptation-of-A-Charlie-Brown-Christmas Peanuts Christmas book wasn’t a struggle. The Joy of a Peanuts Christmas is quite simply a lovely book of the core of Peanuts. It’s a strip collection, collecting Christmas-themed strips. Now, that would describe a lot of the books on this list, but …

So here on the day before Christmas, and while I have no more shopping yet to get done, I find myself buying gifts for me. That’s because Amazon is having a great day-before-Christmas sale, with some very desirable MP3 albums for $1.99 or less. (Not that it has to be …

The title of Christmas is Together-Time may be a mite awkward, but what it is isn’t awkward at all. What it is is pure, book-original Schulz, with his reflections on Christmas and what it is. And lest you think that a Christmas giftbook is apt to be pure saccharine, we …

Attempts to merge Schulz drawings with other styles of art are often just visually annoying, but not invariably so. Case in point: Yes, Santa, there is a Charlie Brown, a book from 1971 that Halmark has issued as a small hardcover and, later, as an even smaller hardcover, as you …

Chatting online with an AAUGH Blog reader a couple weeks back, the talk turned to things we’d gotten at auction, and things we’d missed out on. In the latter category, my biggest regret was something I’ve brought up here before, a booklet called Golfing — It’s Only A Game, which …

Sally’s Christmas Play is another storybook taken from a strip continuity… but this one is the tale where Sally believes that she’s supposed to say “Hark!” right before Harold Angel sings. That makes it a better story than some which were adapted.

You’ve got today and part of tomorrow to order gifts and have them delivered before Christmas using two-day shipping. I just ordered for my three year old son Don’t Let The Pigeon Finish This Activity Book, a cheap little set of fire vehicles, and an electronic toy that teaches writing …
