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.)

Reaching issue 500 is an achievement …

Offboarding

I can think of a number of times that Peanuts storybooks have been converted into board books, often with some shortening and simplification. And I can think of once or twice that the stories from board books have been included inside non-board anthologies of stories. But I can’t think of …
