Two more books to come

Running Press, publishers of many a Peanuts book these days, have announced two more books for 2012. February’s Snoopy the Flying Ace is actually one of those boxed sets which comes with a booklet and some object… and sorry, I don’t yet know what the object is. Good Grief! Charlie …

Filling the Charlie Brown Christmas hole

Thanks to alert AAUGH Blog reader Debbie (whose online comic strip “Fluffy & Mervin” you should check out) filling in when my Googlefu was failing me, I now have a copy of the one edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas I was missing: the book and tape edition. Now this …

A Charlie Brown CHRISTMAS IN JULY in book form

There are those who say that Christmas is the most special time of year, but I am not among those, for more special to me and my crazed little heart is those times of years when a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas is made available. And these …

Maybe Charlie Brown just got his head stuck in a baby box?

The online ad that you see here (which is just a copy; you cannot click through on this one and have your insurance needs seen to) reminds me of something that I failed to do at San Diego Comic-Con. The Universal UClick booth had a green screen frame you could …
