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.
