Snoopy by Peanuts!
There’s an anthology book of comics coming out later this month with an odd credit I don’t think I’ve seen before. I’m used to seeing “Peanuts by Schulz” put on things where Charles Schulz didn’t do the final work (although as it’s all inspired by and based upon his work, …
PEANUTS DE SCHULZ – ::: N O R M AA L ::: ::: N O R M AA L :::
I’ve written a couple of times about the 500 minute-and-a-half-long Peanuts shorts being produced in France, but now I can finally show some of them to you, thanks to a site that AAUGH Blog reader Guillaume pointed me to. Surf on over to the production company’s website, scroll down a bit, …
Peanuts Movie puzzle book
Now available from third-party sellers on Amazon is this Spanish jigsaw puzzle book of images from The Peanuts Movie. The title, Carlitos y Snoopy, la película. Mi libro puzle, reflects the Charlie Brown & Snoopy title that the film has in many places.
The relative success of The Peanuts Movie
Yes, box office receipts is kind of a stinky way to talk about movies… but I’m a math person at heart and by training, and when I see numbers, I cannot help but to process them. So I think about The Peanuts Movie and the $129 million in domestic ticket sales …

What happiness is, for the record
Once Schulz had established that “Happiness is a Warm Puppy”, many other folks decided to put down their own descriptors. The Beatles famously indicated that “Happiness is a Warm Gun”, and as we’ve covered here before, Johnny Carson opined that “Happiness is a Dry Martini”. But it wasn’t until just …
Starting the new year off right… with Christmas!
What better way to start off the new year of this blog with our favorite thing – a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas! I came back from my holiday travels to find the Walmart 50th anniversary A Charlie Brown Christmas CD set waiting for me. This is a …
Presents present themselves
You know, I was only joking in the last post when I suggested that readers might send me birthday presents at any time of year. However, one AAUGH Blog reader – John – sent me a present just the other day: these two Peanuts coloring books. And I was flipping …
Peanuts 29 Sneak Peek
Here are the opening pages from issue 20 of the KaBOOM! Peanuts comic book series, which will land in better comic book stores this Wednesday… which, by the way, would also be a good time to scour your comic shop for some last-minute Christmas gifts, and too-late Hannukah presents for your …
Linus’s shorthand.
Today, newspapers reran the December 22, 1968 Peanuts strip, in which Linus is doing shorthand, and I see people asking just what he’s saying. Luckily, a few years back, I asked someone who did shorthand. The first panel says “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.” The last panel …
