the San Diego Peanuts panel
My one day at Comic-Con happened to coincide with the Boom! Peanuts panel, where they had the creative and editorial folks behind the comic books. If you were looking for a lot of new revelations about the future of the Peanuts comic book, there wasn’t much to be had; they …
The return of Baby Snoopy?
I’ve spoken here before about “ghost books”, titles that were once entered into some publisher’s or distributor’s list but never really existed, never really will exist, but due to various computer processes keep getting relisted as coming some time in the future. What we have today is a listing for …
Peanuts booth will have Comic-Con exclusives
It turns out they were just later in announcing the exclusive Peanuts items to be available at Comic-Con than most of the other booth’s items. The coolest thing, INGHO (In Nat Gertler’s Humble Opinion), is the women’s tee-shirts featuring Lucy Van Pelt in her cool spaceman spiffy pajamas, from an …
The GMPs According to Peanuts
This is actually a booklet I blogged about seven years back, but given the eyebrows it raised at Beaglefest and the new audience I assume I’ve gathered since then, I reckoned the time was ripe for a repost (with improved graphics.) What exactly are the GMP’s? Why, the Good Manufacturing …
An adequate kids’ Schulz bio
During my Beaglefest talk, I mentioned that there are two kinds of Schulz books that I love as a blogger. There are the wonderful books that I can wholeheartedly recommend that people buy, and there are the terrible ones that I can have fun being snarky about. Many of the …

Coming up starting in August are four more monthly issues of Peanuts comic books from Kaboom. They are restarting with issue #1 again, calling this “volume 2”. As with volume 1, each issue will have a rarer alternative cover edition, featuring a Peanuts character as they looked at their debut. …
Beaglefest report
This was my first time at Beaglefest, the big annual gathering of the Peanuts Collector Club. If you’re looking for a full report on it, look elsewhere, as I was only there for a sliver of it; it ran from Thursday through Sunday, and I was only in town Friday …
Next DVD is Snoopy 2 Go
Coming in October is Go Snoopy Go, the latest DVD in the Happiness Is… Peanuts series. These disks pair one special (in this case, It’s Spring Training, Charlie Brown) with one episode of The Charlie Brown and Snoopy Show (the one with the stories “Blanket”, “Peppermint Patty”, and “Rainy Day”), …
Peanuts the comic book book book 2
Coming in March: Peanuts Vol. 2, presumably reprinting the next batch of the Ka-Boom Peanuts comic books. (Not that it’s actually news that there will be Peanuts books next year. The sound-button version of Easter Beagle had already been solicited, making for Peanuts book next year, and I’m preeeeeeetty sure …
