TRIUMPH!
Yes, I have my copy of the new Kohl’s edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. This doesn’t have the textured cloth cover of some editions of this adaptation (the 2008 one with Tom Brannon art), but it does have a full-color jacket over full-color boards. It’s pretty big, at 10 …
New Peanuts holiday DVD set
Just released this week is Snoopy’s Holiday Collection, a new boxed set of holiday DVDs… but, well, it’s just a new box for them, with three existing DVDs: I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown, which has that special and Happy New Year, Charlie Brown on it. (Oh, and …
It was 63 years ago today…
It was 63 years ago today that we first met Charlie Brown. Good ol’ Charlie Brown. How I hate him. (Psst: Anyone who thinks that I’m really saying that I hate Charlie Brown doesn’t know me very well, and should also go back and reread Peanuts from the very beginning.)
Books that are going away

As I mentioned the other day, when Amazon says that a book is delayed a few weeks, sometimes it means it is delayed a few weeks, sometimes it means that they don’t know what’s going on. As proof, Snoopy: Cowabunga, the book that I was told Tuesday would likely be …
Surfing out of season
Amazon is sending out notices to folks who ordered the kid-friendly, feature-laden strip collection Snoopy: Cowabunga! that the book will miss its ship date of yesterday, but should be out in a few weeks… which is a notice that sometimes means just what it says, and sometimes means that they …
Still so, so cryptic
Alert AAUGH Blog reader Scott points out that the book that had first showed up in the coming list as Port-A-Snoopy has already had its title changed, and is now Build-Your-Own Snoopy and Woodstock!: Punch-out and Construct Your Own Desktop Peanuts Companions!, a 1-page unbound hardcover.
