I thought that I was being helpful back in 2006 when I told you “There are now two books available called A Peanuts Valentine“… but it turns out I was off by at least one. Until recently, I hadn’t known that back in 1972, Hallmark issued a book by that …
Coming next April is a new series of inspirational Peanuts books for kids. Be Yourself! shows examples of positive aspects in each of the Peanuts kids; Be Kind: Peanuts Wisdom to Carry You Through looks at some positive values with Peanuts examples, and Be Brave: Peanuts Wisdom to Carry You …
For those of you who want every bit of Schulz (in more ways than one), coming this October from Fantagraphics is Naked Cartoonists, a collection of undraped self-portraiture by some of the most recognizable names in the comics biz. Sparky is in there, as are other such hotties as Lynn …
We live in an era when if you want a stuffed Snoopy, you can certainly get a stuffed Snoopy. They are available in all sorts of sizes, textures, colors, with a marvelous range of costumes. But in the mid 1950s, this was not the case. In 1955, with Peanuts becoming …
Chip Kidd’s book on Peanuts from a few years back drew both adoration and derision (I fall into the former camp, but that’s because I don’t see it as The One Way Peanuts Should Be Seen as much as An Interesting Alternative Way Of Looking At It; there are so …

AAUGH Blog reader Pat just alerted me to a rare big-screen showing of Snoopy Come Home in Hollywood. Alas, the scheduling (tonight and tomorrow at 7:30) doesn’t work for me, but I hope some of the L.A. crew can make it out!
Here’s the new and presumably final cover for the upcoming original Peanuts graphic novel It’s Tokyo, Charlie Brown, now available for preorder, shipping in November. And hey, speaking of Peanuts comic book covers, check out this cool reinterpretation of the cover of Dell’s Peanuts issue 13 cover from the 1960s.
I probably mentioned here that the upcoming Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking book would be printed in two-color format… even showed some of you some of the art like that. While two-color would’ve been a step up for the material (both stories had been printed simply with black ink originally, albeit …
Here’s a beautiful example of the Peanuts cast being integrated with other characters, in a shot I’d not seen before (but now have fo r the AAUGH.com Reference Library, of course.) They’re going head-to-head at the 1990 Pebble Beach Pro-Am, in this foldout cover for the souvenir magazine. Ah, a …
