We have a content image for that Peanuts Inspiration Deck

…a cover for the Christmastime is Here
…and though it’s been available for a while, I gotta say that I like this color scheme on the paperback edition of The Complete Peanuts 1987-1988
Newly added to the AAUGH.com Reference Library is Snoopy: Poisson D’Avril (that’s April Fool’s Day.) Published by Dargaud in 1990, this hardcover has 46 pages of strips from the mid-1970s, with either five dailies or one Sunday per page, all in color. This isn’t a big find for me; I’m not completist on foreign books, and I already had some from this Dargaud run. Still, if it’s a Peanuts book I don’t have and it’s only five bucks including shipping, I am apt to pick it up. (That is actually a dangerous attitude to take. This run of books is numbered — this one is 18 — and while I already have five others in this run, the highest-numbered is #96, so five bucks a pop could cost me hundreds!)
And if you want something cool and Snoopy but don’t want to spend hundreds of dollars, the Snoopy car (the one with Snoopy on his doghouse, which is on a chassis with an engine, first issued in 2014 and rereleased since) is in this year’s Hot Wheels releases — and it’s a standard release, the sort of thing that one can often get for under $2 at the supermarket.
