In the past, I’ve discussed Charlie Brown’s Career Education Program, a series of film strips from 1979. I even showed you some scans of the Latina character Dolores, and of the film strip You May Live Underwater, Charlie Brown. Up until now, I’ve had 3 film strips in this 35 film strip series. Thanks to yesterday’s arrival, I’ve got 25. Oh, okay, I’ve got 23, plus two doubles, and I think I’ve discovered that it’s actually a 36 film strip series. But this gives me a lot to look at… once I get my film scanner set up, get a cassette player out, and get to look at it all. This will take a while. I’ve got hours of late-1970s goodness to go through here!

Which one am I looking forward to the most? Why, It’s Your Hobby, Charlie Brown, of course! After all, I’m a living example for the message “a person’s hobbies and interests may lead to a job.”

Review catchup

I apologize for the lack of reviews in a while. It’s my own fault… and the fault of that new Hallmark edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas which interacts with a stuffed animal. “That would be a great review to do as a video”, thought I. But videos take time to …

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 …
