Keep Calm and Do the Snoopy Dance

You will believe a beagle can fly
This drone is making me very happy.
Nat in San Diego – change of plans
I’m still only going to be at the San Diego Comic-Con for one day, but due to some family matters (don’t worry, nothing of concern), that day will be FRIDAY, not Thursday as previously announced. I’ll be wearing the unique shirt below, so if you see someone wearing it, stop …
Many different Charlies Brown
Finally, we have a cover for Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz, the book where various artists get to bring their own style to Peanuts.

Peanuts Movie OGN is DOA
There was a book in the catalogs as Peanuts Movie OGN, indicating that a graphic novel would be hitting in August in the style of the movie. Well, the ISBN (an identification number) that was being used for that is now being used for September’s Where Beagles Dare graphic novel – which …
Snoopy: Party Animal
Coming in March 2016 is Snoopy: Party Animal, which looks to be another in the AMP Comics For Kids full-color strip collections. And as long as I’m making a post: on Monday, I stopped by Snoopy’s Gallery & Gift Shop in Santa Rosa, and signed a dozen or so copies of The …
Pocky stars
A friend gave this to me, a Japanese candy box. What makes me happiest is not that the Peanuts characters are windsurfing, nor that Belle is front and center (I’m well used to the fact that this very minor strip character is huge in licensing.) No, the happy-making thing is …
