I, your friendly neighborhood AAUGH Blogger, had a six minute conversation about Peanuts on Minnesota’s mighty WCCO radio during drive time this morning. You can listen to it here.

Blog reader Asher sent in  query about whether there were any Black Friday sales on Peanuts stuff, particularly Peanuts books. I haven’t done a lot of looking, but I managed to point to the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales at Fantagraphics, publisher ot the Complete Peanuts and Peanuts Every Sunday volumes, as well as other Peanuts books (and many fine non-Peanuts books.)

There are also slight discounts on one volume of Complete Peanuts and on Blake Scott Ball’s book Charlie Brown’s America: The Popular Politics of Peanuts.
