What is and is not exclusive at that Peanuts offsite
As I mentioned a couple posts back, the Super7 store in San Diego will be doing a Peanuts pop-up within the shop starting on the Friday of San Diego con. The earliest release made it sound like this was just a launch for their products, but (alas for those who …
The Mystery of the Daily Dozen
I’ve written before, albeit not recently, about Snoopy’s Daily Dozen, a 1960s wall chart that had the Peanuts kids demonstrating various exercises. It’s an interesting piece, but we didn’t include it in the things we submitted for The Complete Peanuts volume 26, because we were not 100% sure that it’s genuine …
blatantly cool Peanuts toys/not toys
One of the nifty things about how the San Diego Comic-Con has grown over its 50 years of existence (I’ve only attended… oh, probably 30. Egad.) is that the convention has outgrown the convention center and spills out for many blocks around. Various companies and groups, not wanting to pay …
Pop! goes the Snoopy
If you want to get all the Comic-Con exclusive Peanuts space items, you’ll have to go beyond the Peanuts booth. Head on over to the Funko booth, and stand in line, and you’ll be able to buy this Astronaut Snoopy figure. I admit, as much as I like some Pops, …
Peanuts Comic-Con exclusives 2019
Well, the legendary San Diego Comic-Con is just around the corner… timewise, that is. Physically, it’s down in San Diego, which is like a month’s walk from where I am and even more from you. Anyway, as always, it’s far too late to get a ticket, which are hard to …
Print purchase
If you’re my age (and I don’t know if you are, but I sure am!) you never really bought trading cards. Technically, you bought a stick of gum, and they threw in a pile of trading cards. This had several effects, including allowing the manufacturer to claim they were not …
So much for Sunday being a day of rest
Coming in January is No Rest for the Easter Beagle, a level 2 Ready-to-Read book. Tina Gallo is handling the words, Scott Jeralds the pictures. The Peanuts kids take on coloring and hiding eggs so that the Beagle can take a break. Two pages of stickers in the paperback version …
A Sunny Day coming in December?
The last month of the year will bring Woodstock’s Sunny Day, a board-shaped bird book… excuse me, bird-shaped board book… written by Patty Michaels and drawn by Vicki Scott. “It’s a beautiful Spring day, and Woodstock doesn’t want to just hang around Snoopy’s doghouse. He convinces his best friend that they …
An unexpected Snoopy sighting
So I’m sitting here in pain from wiping out on my bicycle today, looking for some comfort viewing on TV. I start streaming Cybill, the 1990s sitcom created by Chuck Lorre as a vehicle for Cybill Shepherd. In episode 2, Cybill-the-character is sitting with her ex-husband talking about their impending grandparenthood, …
Space Snoopy
Folks are bopping around article links to a statement that “Snoopy”, the module from Apollo X that was discarded into space, may have been located by investigators who were looking for it (which makes them, I suppose, both searchers and researchers, much like some folks are simultaneously tired and retired.) …
