Not all strip reprints are books

Upcoming releases

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 Peanuts books, but as a strip reprint, it qualifies for the blog!

And as long as I’m handling upcoming things (I have fallen a bit behind. Bad AAUGH Blogger, bad!) I might as well get to Sleepy Snoopy, a board book in which Snoopy has to find the right place to sleep.

However, Snoopy seems to have already solved that puzzle in another book coming out just a few days before…

That’s from Where’s Snoopy?, a search-and-find book where the emphasis is more on the find than on the search, given its low level of difficulty. Snoopy is no Waldo! (Let me post my headcannon that whenever you can’t find Waldo, it’s because he’s off having a secluded tryst with Carman Sandiego.)

Schulz is from Tidal Wave, …

Not Peanuts, but not utterly not Peanuts

I saw a comics writer talking about a new project where he was taking some inspiration from Peanuts – as well as some from other sources — to do a story about a comic strip creator who is bringing his strip to an end, in a way with deep personal …
