Someone… well, a group of good folks… sent me a copy of the new edition of Home is On Top of a Dog House, part of a line of reprints of the Happiness is a Warm Puppy series of books. Now, I’d noticed that they’d done cover redesigns form the original, but I hadn’t …

The Peanuts Movie has some tough competition for the Golden Globe in feature animation, up against the largely-loved Inside Out, as well as Animolisa, The Good Dinosaur, and the enjoyable Shaun the Sheep, but it’s in the running! It used to be that it was rare that you’d have two big animated films released in …

I’ve been a little light on Peanuts book news lately – there’s some things coming in the mail, but folks aren’t making a lot of new announcements during the holiday season. (Plus, things get hectic here around this time.) But making me happy at the moment is an invite I …

With all of the books that have been released lately, I thought I’d recap the major big-gifty ones for those considering their Christmas shopping (or their git lists). The Snoopy Treasures: A Celebration of the World Famous Beagle is the book that I’d better list first, as an author who …

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 …
