Peanuts book ads, and selling things
I visited with Hogan’s Alley designer David Folkman, and he let me look through a small portion of his vast comics-related collection. Here we have a couple of magazine ads for the Fawcett Crest mass-market paperback Peanuts books. (Forgive the weak photography.) It was so nice of David to let me …
Some notes on Complete Peanuts 26
Now that you all have your copies of The Complete Peanuts volume 26: Comics and Stories (you do, don’t you? If not, click on that link and order one!), I thought I’d make a few notes on it. As I’ve mentioned here before, Derrick Bang, Timothy Chow, and I rounded …
The Charlie Brown Christmas Show
Hogan’s Alley editor Tom Heintjes was showing around a copy of this old TV ad: Ah, the glory of local ads! In addition to the beautiful title of The Charlie Brown Christmas Show (what, don’t they know that the proper title is It’s “The Charlie Brown Christmas Show”, Charlie Brown!?), there’s that gloriously …
a Peanuts book in its potential state
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com Reference Library is not a book… yet. Tips from the Gang is the latest in a line of fabric sheets that are a bit of sewing and cutting (as well as a bit of batting) away from the being a cloth book…. or, if you’re …

Philosophy and Peanuts
The book Peanuts and Philosophy: You’re A Wise Man, Charlie Brown, is now shipping… which I know because I’ve got a copy. However, this is not a review, because it’s going to take me a while to get through the eighteen short essays discussing the philosophical maters to be found within …
HAPPINESS IS A WARM PUPPY | Easton Press
If you’ve always wanted one of those gilt-edged fancy Easton Press editions, they’ve got HAPPINESS IS A WARM PUPPY now at 20% off… which still puts it at close to $100. Looks like that’s the only Peanuts book that they have left.
Hooray for Liberty, Charlie Brown!
I’ve finally gotten around to filling in the whole that I left in my Peanuts Great American Adventure collection, by getting the storybook Hooray for Liberty, Charlie Brown! This recent volume, written by former-voice-of-Lucy Tracy Stratford, tells about Lucy talking the gang into building a treehouse, and then declaring herself “queen” …
A new editionish of A Charlie Brown Christmas!
I had a feeling that I was not done with new book editions of A Charlie Brown Christmas this year… even though everything solicited to the book market had already come out, and Hallmark had already unveiled multiple editions. But then I was walking through Target, and I saw a new …
It’s the Impending Holiday Season, Charlie Brown
It’s the day before Thanksgiving, and I celebrated this year by getting my new license plate! Dig the joy! (I do need to get a new license plate frame for it, though.) But I am also doing what I do every year at this time, writing my pre-holiday shopping season …
