I just got in my copy of the new Hallmark interactive book Peanuts Presents: The Very First Christmas. Written by Andrew Blackburn and drawn by Richard LaPierre, this story is told across 5 two-page spreads, each of which introduces a new hole in the right-hand page, in which you insert one …

Tomorrow night, starting off ABC’s prime-time lineup in the US will be an hourlong special devoted to one of the greatest half hours in the history of television! It’s Your 50th Christmas, Charlie Brown will be airing in this, the 51st year of airing A Charlie Brown Christmas (because that’s how anniversaries …

I think some people assume that I’m known for my Peanuts knowledge because I have a good memory. Really, the opposite is the truth.  I’m known because I couldn’t trust my memory to remember which Peanuts books I had, and which books have the same contents as other books, so …

So there I was, serenely confident that I’d found all the new book editions of A Charlie Brown Christmas for the year. I’d gotten the ones that were solicited through normal book channels. I’d gotten the one that Hallmark had produced. I’d even gotten the book of stamps! So I’m done, …

If you go to the page for those customized Peanuts board books, you’ll now see: $10 OFF ANY BOOK with code DISNEY through 11/24/15. …which makes it a far better deal (I may finally order some), but kinda odd, don’t you agree?
