So I have, in my hot’n’handsome li’l hands, a copy of The Complete Peanuts volume 25, collecting the final year-and-a-little of the newspaper strip, which is a good thing to have but not exactly hard to have come by before. But this is filled out with two other items of note: a …

It’s known that cartoonist Al Plastino was once hired to produce some Peanuts strips to be kept on file, even if there was some disagreement between Plastino’s recollection and other reasoning as to when this took place. Despite rumors that these strips were destroyed, a few have seen print in …

Coming in November is Peanuts and Philosophy, a book of twenty essays exploring philosophical matters in or through Peanuts.

The Peanuts 4-Movie Collection gathers all four of the classically animated Peanuts theatrical films into one handy, cheap set (just under $20 at the moment). The reason that this seemed unlikely is that the four films are owned by two …
