Back in my day, we spelled it “fork”
AAUGH Blog reader John pointed out this announcement of yet another home video release of the three perennial Peanuts specials (Christmas, Great Pumpkin, and Thanksgiving).

Tens of thousands of baseball fans, officials, and journalists have arrived in Miami today for one reason: to see the worst owner in professional sports for themselves. The internet swelled this weekend with think pieces about garbage can Jeffrey Loria — and that was before his walking frat-boy smirk of a …
Ah, THAT’s what that book is
I got a tad more information on the book Charles M. Schulz’ Charlie Brown that’s coming from Kaboom! next March. It’s another collection of stories from the Kaboom!

Comic-Con in Fashion
While I may have gotten some of you down the other day with mention of Peanuts things that will only be available to you if you have a no-longer-available Comic-Con badge, I’ve got some good news: if you happen to be in San Diego anyway during the Con, there’s some …
Count the differences!
