The Peanuts books keep a-comin’

We’re getting into the period when “75th Anniversary” books should be being announced. I don’t know if either of these will be branded that way.

Coming in May, 2025 is Happiness is Peanuts, which seems to be an attempt to capture the magic of the Happiness is a Warm Puppy-style books of the 1960s, but with fresh art provided by Robert Pope.

Coming in August, 2025 is Snoopy, the Story of My Life: The Myth, the Legend, the Beagle!

Snoopy relays everything there is to know about the World’s Most Beloved Beagle in this charming and thorough picture book memoir sure to delight fans old and new!

“[Snoopy] can do anything. He drives a Zamboni. He’s an attorney. He’s a World War I flying ace and he’s a surgeon. He’s all those things.” —Charles M. Schulz

Learn all about Snoopy’s family, his early life at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm, his travels, and his first owner (not Charlie Brown!) and more in this complete history as told by Snoopy himself in the classic Peanuts comic strip.

This comprehensive guide to Snoopy also includes a travelogue and a list of some of the personas that Snoopy adopted over the years, including the World Famous Attorney, the World War I Flying Ace, the Fierce Vulture (his very first alter ego!), and the ultimate Big Man on Campus himself, Joe Cool.

This one is written by Andrew Farago, who Peanutsers will know from The Peanuts Family Album.

Not all strip reprints are books

Coming next April is Happiness is a Postcard, a boxed set of fifty “unique” (by which they mean there are no repeats in the box) postcards. And some of them, going by the promo image, are reprints of Sunday strips. So that doesn’t count as a “book” for my list of …
