Peanuts Movie OGN is DOA

There was a book in the catalogs as Peanuts Movie OGN, indicating that a graphic novel would be hitting in August in the style of the movie. Well, the ISBN (an identification number) that was being used for that is now being used for September’s Where Beagles Dare graphic novel – which explains why that graphic novel is showing up being described as being in the style of the movie, when the visual style is in the same style of the previous comic books that Vicki Scott has drawn. Looks like they just haven’t updated the text. This does not appear to have a The Peanuts Movie license… I’m not sure if there as an actual movie adaptation that was intended and was scuttled, or whether they had just done a real weak job of conveying what had been planned.
