I, your friendly neighborhood AAUGH Blogger, had a six minute conversation about Peanuts on Minnesota’s mighty WCCO radio during drive time this morning. You can listen to it here.

There are also slight discounts on one volume of Complete Peanuts and on Blake Scott Ball’s book Charlie Brown’s America: The Popular Politics of Peanuts.
