AAUGH Blog fan Bill just alerted me to this item you see pictured, a  Walmart Exclusive 50th anniversary set of Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s got two CDs,  four postcards (not just postcards, collectible postcards, we are told. They have not been collection-proofed! And looking at them, very non-Christmassy!) And what’s that over at the …

The campaign for license plates with Snoopy on them to raise money for California museums has succeeded, selling the 7500 plates needed to put it into production! If you’re a Californian who has been holding out, you have just until Friday to go here! and order your plate and still get the …

Camarillo author Nat Gertler follows the evolution of Snoopy of Peanuts fame in his latest book. For anyone who wanted a quick peek at the AAUGH.com reference library, here’s a corner of it, as your humblish author gets front page (of section D) treatment in the Ventura County Star. The …
