Snoopy in a hit movie
I just got back from seeing Guardians of the Galaxy, and can point out that among the many details slammed into the film, Snoopy makes an appearance in one small way. The opening scene is set in a hospital, and on a patient’s bedside table, a greeting card with Snoopy atop …
Oh Noklahoma!
I just noticed… the surrey on this cover only has three wheels! Seriously unstable. Which is not at all helped by the fact that it’s not connected to any horses, except for the reins in Snoopy’s paw. Unless he has a period-inappropriate seatbelt, this is a disaster just waiting to …

This is the Peanuts booth at Comic-Con: And this, over on the right (with the woman in the Tardis skirt in the lead), was the line of people waiting to buy stuff. And this was at a time when there wasn’t a signing going on, and the most in-demand …

A little Peanuts to give away
There are many things that I do wrong in this world. One of the things that I do right is to give out comics at Halloween; they are popular, they don’t cause cavities, they encourage reading. And this year, I get to give out some Peanuts comics in the mix. …
Snoopy and the King and I
I have a fondness for this series of sheet music books from 1983, despite the fact that I don’t play an instrument. I am amused by the collision of properties, and how it gives us the long titles like Snoopy Goes To Broadway to see The King and I… as …
