You are Good Folks, AAUGH Blog Readers

First off, thanks to all of the AAUGH Blog readers who sent in suggestions about how I can get the scent of smoke out of my Braille edition of Home Is On Top Of A Doghouse (various suggestions of laundry products, baking soda, and exposure to sun). I do now have it in a bag with a couple fabric softener sheets; we shall see how that does.

Anyway, the DVD of the animated special You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown is now out, and yes, I was able to verify that I am indeed in the documentary featurette. So for all of you who collect DVDs on the basis of whether Nat Gertler appears in them, you can buy this one with confidence (or avoid it, if that’s how you segment your collection). For the other 99.99999998% of humanity (i.e., those who are not my mother), you can buy it with the confidence that it is indeed an animated Peanuts special.
