She’s a Good Skate to air
It’s the Peanutsiest month of the year! Tonight, December 6, the US’s ABC network airs A Charlie Brown Christmas, in it’s “uncut” (except, of course, for that Coke ad from the original airing) glory, followed by (a presumably edited-down version of) Charlie Brown’s Christmas Tales. That’s 8 PM in most arsea. This …
Japanese Snoopy books galore
I like that this Snoopy cookie cookbook (cookiebook? cookbookie?): …uses the same Snoopy/Woodstock picture as this Snoopy, umm, dolphin repair manual(? guessing): …and Amazon Japan even advertised them to me right next to each other! Also available: Snoopy and Woodstock Slide into Asgard!: Please note that this strip collection, which is …

Not that Charlie Brown. Not even quite Charlie Brown.
Coming out this coming week: A Sharla Brown Christmas!
You’ll Have Barriers, Charlie Brown
I have a foolish obsession strong interest in the 1979-released film strip series Charlie Brown’s Career Education Program. Finding this listing in a scan of a 1989 educational media catalog answered a couple questions for me, like “how long was this around?” (at least a decade) and “how much did …
Review: Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown graphic novel
There are a lot of amusing things about the new graphic novel Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown, based on the third Peanuts film, but I have to admit that the one that gave me the biggest laugh was a review quote on the back cover. According to Comicosity, this graphic …
Travels with Spike
On our way driving home from the Grand Canyon, we found ourselves passing through Needles, California, and so of course, I couldn’t resist visiting Spike. The statue resides in a Subway sandwich shop. The town is into their relationship to Snoopy’s brother in a number of ways. The adjacent convenience …
Millionaire, recluse, cartoonist
I think someone may have mis-entered the author information on this one. What do you think?
