Here come the Hallmark books
I don’t have my copies of these yet, but that’s no reason to not let you know that they exist!
The Peanuts Game
Back when I was working on Complete Peanuts 26, an eBay listing like this would lead me to fret. Sure, it’s clearly not lettered by Schulz, that’s visible even at this low resolution, but what if they had him draw a strip special for them and then change the dialogue? There …
You knew it had to be coming
This will be a year. A real year. The kind of year when we don’t just have a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it’s actually going to be a completely new adaptation! This one’s going to be a “deluxe edition”, a cloth-covered hardcover with foil highlights. The adaptation is …
2017 has books, it does
There’s more Peanuts books coming later in the year. The batch I just learned of is mostly kids stuff. The one that makes me happiest is a storybook with Franklin as the title character. The story book You Got A Rock, Charlie Brown (July) The storybook It’s Hockey Time, Franklin (August) The …

If you’re ordering your kid books online, its order code …

Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the Peanuts gang are up for sale. Strawberry Shortcake too Source: Good Grief! Snoopy and the Peanuts Gang Are Up for Sale Several people have called my attention to the fact that Iconix, the majority owners of Peanuts Worldwide (the company co-owned by the Schulzes) are looking …
Finally, a book about The Peanuts Gang!
Yes, I sacrifice much for you, my dear AAUGH Blog readers! I actually ordered myself a copy of the book on this bold new Peanuts Gang, finally finding a replacement for those characters from the last century! No more Charlie Brown, Peppermint Patty. Now, The Peanuts Gang (and it’s italicized, always italicized) is …
Zoom In On Amazing Author Charles Schulz
I sadly actually want to get all of the biographies of Charles Schulz aimed at children. These things, almost always issued as part of a large set of biographies aimed to fill library space and be the easiest thing to write a book review about, tend to be expensive, and …
