The full Peanuts movie teaser
Here ya go: There are definitely some cool aspects to this.
The no-good “no-good because”
There’s a way that I’ve seen folks discussing Peanuts projects over the past decade or so that I find a little irksome. They’ll see some bit of non-Schulz Peanuts somewhere, and consider it not to be good… which I have no problem with (I certainly feel that there are better …
CORRECTION: Peanuts Artist’s Edition
My previous posting had said that the Peanuts Artist’s Edition would be reprinting art at its original dimensions. Unfortunately, that is not the case; due to the large size that Schulz worked at, the publisher has chosen to vary from the standard with such books and reduce the work when …
Peanuts Artist’s Edition now orderable
CORRECTED: Previously, this entry said that the art would be reproduced at the original size. That is incorrect; it is being reduced. The error has been removed. That big “Artist’s Edition” that is reproduces Peanuts original art? It’s now available for preorder. I always push preordering, and on this, I’m …
Peanuts teaser reaction
Having now watched the few brief seconds of footage that aired on Good Morning America (at 8:36 here on the west coast feed, for those who may be looking for it in a recording), about the most I have to say is “yeah, it looks like those still images”. It …
This will be awesome, presumably
Coming in November is Be Awesome, yet another in the Peanuts Wisdom To Carry You Through series. Our national wisdom shortage will soon be over!
Peanuts movie trailer airing in the morning

The modeling from the 3-D has an interesting effect, unsurprisingly reminding me of the effect of Tom Brannon’s …
No undercover loving here
Here’s what’s being shown as the cover for Be Loving, the December addition to the Peanuts Wisdom To Carry You Through line. However, I’m pretty sure that this cover will be changed before release. For one thing, the final cover will probably not say “Cover Not Final” on it. I …
A couple of non-Schulz notes
Since I have this audience here, I’m going to exploit it a bit for a good cause. The wife of cartoonist Stan Sakai, creator of Usagi Yojimbo, has a bad health situation that requires ongoing home care. The Sakais have insurance, but this expense is above and beyond what is …
This blog would’ve been simpler in 1958
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference library is the December, 1958 issue of Better Homes and Gardens, the popular woman’s magazine. Now, if you’ve bought Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking, you would’ve seen two Christmas stories that Schulz did for other women’s magazines during the 1960s… but the original Peanuts story in …
