The latest addition to the AAUGH.com Reference Library is a book we already have a copy of… but in a format we don’t have a copy of. In fact, I’m not sure if we can actually call it a book. It’s a series of square pages with rounded corners, linked at the top by a keychain loop. This strip collection contains 8 strips, one panel per page side, and Live and Learn is one of several books that were released in this loop format.

Which leaves just one question: Why? What is the point of these odd little items? Are you expected to use them as awkwardly-large keychains? To dangle them from your belt loop so that people will have to get uncomfortably close to enjoy Schulz’s cartoon stylings? To hook several of them together to create a floppy chaotic objects? Was there some fad I’m forgetting from 40 years ago that made this appropriate? I mean, someone must’ve bought some. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be ones around for selling on eBay.

This is a mysterious world.
