The flames have been closer than earlier maps showed
It’s about 9 PM Wednesday, and looking at the map for the fire – which is only 10% contained – it’s gotten closer. And no rain in the forecast. We could really use some rain. (Added later: folks who are more in touch with what’s going on there tell me that …
Where to direct your charity
With the news about the Schulz home burning in the fire, people are wondering how to help. I’ve already heard people asking if Jean Schulz has put up a Go Fund Me page. To be frank, that seems like an unlikely thing to have happen. The Schulz family is in …
Schulz Museum fine so far
As I’ve reported on the unfortunate status of the homes in Santa Rosa, I’ve been getting inquiries about the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Research Center. As of last report that I can find, the fire has not reached there. This is not a guarantee; this is proving to be …

Complete Peanuts cover
This is the announced cover for the paperback edition of The Complete Peanuts 1967-1968, coming out next May. These paperback covers sure are warmer and friendlier than the hardcover (in a design sense, I mean; this particular cover is clearly pretty mean.)
Doctor Who Do You Think You Are, Charlie Brown?
AAUGH Blog Reader Todd alerts us to some Peanuts references in an unexpected volume. Now We Are Six Hundred, with it’s A.A. Milne-reference title, is a collection of James Goss’s poems inspired by that central inspiration of all great poetry, Doctor Who. The Peanuts-related material is not within the poems …
