Now shipping, Peanuts volume 2
Now shipping, Peanuts Volume 2, which collects issues 1 through 4 of the second run of the current Peanuts comic books. As I type this, Amazon has the book for $7.90, which means that it costs less than the cover price of two issues. The cover you see on Amazon …

Peanuts, Quentin Tarantino style
This genuine, official Peanuts strip may be the funniest one I’ve ever found in any Peanuts book: As you probably figured out part-way through, this is not an official English language strip; this is the Swedish translation. I wrote about it in the then-AAUGH newsletter , when I’d just gotten …

My book is dangerous
If Googe Translate is to be believed, this newly-posted review of the Italian edition of my book The Peanuts Collection claims that the book is “full of internal punching”! (They also call it “a stunning volume”, but perhaps they just mean being stunned by the punches.) Apparently, my first name …
