The Keyring Komix

AAUGH Blog reader Douglas believes he has acquired a complete set of those Hallmark books-on-keyrings that I’ve blogged about recently, and was kind enough not only to share his list of what titles exist – he actually offered up his doubles for the AAUGH.com Reference Library, doubling up the number of these that are on hand.

So what keyring books exist?

  • A Woman’s World 
  • Charlie Brown’s World
  • It’s Only a Game (Not to be confused with reprint collections of Schulz’s non-Peanuts “It’s Only a Game” strip.)
  • Live and Learn 
  • Love, Sweet Love
  • Lucy’s Philosophy
  • Sayings of Snoopy
  • The Flying Ace
  • The Wisdom of Linus

There are small hardback books that came out later with the same titles (or similar titles; Sayings of Snoopy became Cheery Sayings of Snoopy), but with fewer strips and at times in different order, for most but not all of these.

Double Love

Love is Everywhere, Snoopy! is a board book that is supposed to be Charlie Brown explaining love to Snoopy (who is said to have asked, which raises the usual how-does-Snoopy-communicate-to-Charlie-Brown question.) Charlie Brown answers …
