Look what just popped up!

Upcoming releases

Added to the pending Peanuts books is Here Comes Charlie Brown! A Peanuts Pop-Up. Is it a pop-up book? Yes! Is it a strip collection? That depends on your definition of the word “collection”.

This sounds like a cool idea, but then, I’m the guy who did an entire 14 minute podcast episode just about that strip.

Cool, yes, but if this turns out to be volume 1 of 17,897, I’m gonna go broke!

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. …
