Peanutize yourself
I’m not showing a lot of the promotion for The Peanuts Movie, because there is so much of it, but this is a bit of fun: an editor to create a Peanuts Movie version of yourself. This is the best I could do for me (seen here with the star …

Here’s a preview of the new Peanuts graphic novel Where Beagles Dare!, being released Wednesday. Click any page to enlarge. Unfortunately, the book seems to have disappeared from Amazon, it was there before, and I expect it will be there again!

Well, I was forecasting a deluge of Peanuts books in the fall, but I should have looked at my calendar more closely – these two shipments are arriving tomorrow, which is still the last day of summer. Having said that, it overcounts things a tad. Seems I was relying on …
