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”. If it is, it’s literally a strip collection, in that it collects a single strip. That’s right, the whole book is a pop-up version of one strip, the very first Peanuts strip. 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!

As long as I’m doing a blog post, let me get a few other upcoming things out of the way:

• Here’s the cover to the paperback version of The Complete Peanuts 1987 – 1990: Vols. 19 & 20 Gift Box Set, coming in time for Christmas.

• Here’s the cover to volume 20 alone
• 
• … and volume 21, which will ship in April.

• And here’s the cover to It’s the Small Things, Charlie Brown!, next March’s adaptation of the April 2022 animated special. But I can understand if you are confused; the special didn’t have an exclamation point in the title.
