Upcoming releases

Coming in May is Five Funny Snoopy and Charlie Brown Stories!, a compilation of the previously-released kids storybooks Let’s Go to the Library!; Time for School, Charlie Brown; Snoopy and Woodstock; Snoopy, First Beagle on the Moon!; and Make a Trade, Charlie Brown!

We now have a cover for the April strip collection Snoopy: Beagle Scout Adventures.

And hey, if you don’t have your calendar yet, here’s a 2024 Peanuts wall calendar (really, more of a Snoopy calendar; 3/4s of the main page shots have no character besides Snoopy and Woodstock) Here is a more character-diverse wall calendar. Then there’s this one, which is character-diverse as well, but the image selections seem random and not particularly aimed toward humor. (We’ve had a similarly disappointing calendar on our wall this year.) If none of these are Japanese enough for you, well then, we do have an option for you! And if you want a new (old) strip on your desk each day, then this desk calendar should hit the spot.
