The Word Is That You Need Not Seek Hard For Peanuts Word Seeks
I just noticed a good deal in back issues of Peanuts Word Seeks magazine, for those who may want them for their collection (or just are facing a shortage of words.) The publisher will send you a dozen back issues for $16.95 plus shipping. I expect these will all be …
Review: Where’s Snoopy?
The thing it understand about the new hardcover Where’s Snoopy: A Search-and-Find Book by Natalie Shaw and Scott Jeralds is that this isn’t really a puzzle book a la Where’s Waldo? or some of those books of richly detailed photographs where it really takes careful poring over to locate the missing …
To be fair, I could see Olaf telling the time this way.
I was looking through one of those Asian websites that sell cheap goods, the other day, and they had plenty of Peanuts things… including a few that looked like they might be genuine licensed items, and many that absolutely were not. Having picked up on my searches, the website sent …

Peanuts books, they keep on coming
Peanuts books will continue to come in 2026, no matter what the politicians say! (Not that they’ve said anything about that, but I’m just generally mad at politicians at the moment.) May brings Be A Good Sport, Charlie Brown!, which is an abridged-for-board-book version of the storybook I reviewed back in …
Review: The Essential Peanuts
Sometimes my reviews come with a caveat. In this case, it comes with a whole pile of them. I am not utterly independent on this book, as I actually provided a very small amount of help on it, when I was asked for some input on the bibliography in the back …
Up and down, up and down
AAUGH Blog reader D.D., who heads the fine blog The Daily Cartoonist (go check it out), put in the time to find an example of the one eight-panel Peanuts daily in vertically-stacked format, as I mentioned wanting to find in a previous post. Go take a gander at its verticalness! …
Bargains to be had
Amazon bargain prices can disappear at a moment’s notice, so I cannot guarantee these will still be there when you click on them, but: the recent hardcover rerelease of Chip Kidd’s Only What’s Necessary is 63% off and Charles M. Schulz: The Art and Life of the Peanuts Creator (i.e., the award-winning biography …
On the four panel status
For more than the first three decades of Peanuts, the daily strip was always four panels… well, no, that’s not quite 100% true, as I think of the August 31, 1954 daily strip of Patty jumping rope, but even that had panel breaks at the quarter, half, and three-quarter marks …
Gilded Age Peanuts
There are many products generated as Peanuts “collectibles”. There have even been some special editions of books that would qualify, such as those leatherbound Easton Press editions. Still, I think the upcoming board book edition of It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown is pushing the line a bit. The publisher …
