Number two times two
Despite several new movies coming out this past weekend. The Peanuts Movie managed to hold on to the number two spot. It won’t be able to pull off that same trick next weekend, with a new Hunger Games movie and a couple other new films being added to the mix, but …
Snoopy Treasures reviews
This is my post for linking and quoting reviews of my book The Snoopy Treasures… and I intend to quote them all (well, not from mass-review sites, like Goodreads or Amazon), both the good and the bad. Only problem is, as of my initial post on Nov 17, I really don’t …
To Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and especially Lucy
I just ran into a Peanuts reference that I had not remembered in a favorite piece of pop culture, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. It’s a second season episode, “The Care and Feeding of Parents”. Bess, the daughter of Phylis, Mary’s downstairs neighbor, is writing a book, and she proposes to dedicate …
Now available: The Snoopy Treasures!
At long last, that we have all been waiting for when we didn’t have anything better to do has occurred: my new book The Snoopy Treasures: A Celebration of the World Famous Beagle has started shipping from Amazon! And the reviews have started coming in, and so far, they’ve all been …
Updates on release dates for Snoopy Treasures and Peanuts Movie 2: Franklin’ Trainin’
Three minutes ago, Amazon was listing my new book The Snoopy Treasures as going to be in stock on November 21. I reloaded the page now, and it’s now November 16. In either case, it will be available in plenty of time to be given as a Thanksgiving gift, if you want …
The Humble Bundle gets even less Humble
The Humble Bundle folks have added two more Peanuts book to their Peanuts book deal (and yes, it’s retroactive; if you’ve already paid for your bundle, you get these books as well.) They’ve thrown in the graphic novel It’s Tokyo, Charlie Brown and the strip collection A Valentine for Charlie Brown. That means that …
Got it!
The Big Book of Peanuts, 1960s edition, with all of the non-Sunday strips from that decade, is mine, I tells ya, mine! $19.99 at Costco… and yes, they had the 1970s and 1980s at the same price. Yes, these books are based on an Italian series… but unlike some foreign …
Comes with more bamboo sticks than any other Peanuts product I can think of!
This set of things-to-hold-up-to-yourself-while-getting-your-picture-taken, Peanuts Photo Props, is listed as a hardcover book. Seems more like a box thing, I don’t know, but as long as they’re saying that, hey, it qualifies for my coverage. (It’s also listed as 23 pages, which is mathematically problematic.) I’m hoping the pictures on the …
Maybe it’s a treasure hunt!
Yes, my new book The Snoopy Treasures was supposed to start shipping today. No, it did not actually start shipping today. No, I don’t know how long the delay is. Yes, the book exists. I have copies. We shall see.
e-Small World
A couple years back, I reprinted a collection of this odd comic strip which launched in 1952. Small World by Sam Brier handles adult concerns in kids in a different way than Peanuts does, by depicting two kids who are pretending to be adults… or is it adults drawn as …
