Bear with Me

Upcoming releases

A few years back, I let you know about the first collection of the strip Molly and the Bear, by Bob Scott, whose work you might know from the Peanuts comic books. Well, Bob dropped by to let me know that there’s a new book coming out soon (and available for pre-order), under the strip’s new name, Bear with Me.

(Calvin has his tiger. Molly has her bear. It seems like there should be a trilogy of such strips but featuring a lion, so we could make a lion-and-tiger-and-bear, oh-my joke. But the next example that comes to mind is Dana Simpson’s enjoyable and currently popular Phoebe and her Unicorn, and that doesn’t fit.)

Crafty Peanuts books

A couple of craft-ish new books popped up on the horizon. Coming next June is a revised and expanded edition of Peanuts Cross-Stitch; where the old one had 16 patterns, this one comes with a whopping 24. At least, I assume that’s whopping. I don’t really spend time with craft books. …
