Lucy… stole… a jeep?
When I gave my talk at Beaglefest last month, I spoke mainly of the upcoming Complete Peanuts volume 26, showing off the things that would be included in that volume, as well as some of the things that wouldn’t be. And I did display off one of my favorite spot illustrations that …
Limited T’s of limited legality
What’s bugging me today is that the number of unlicensed Peanuts t-shirts that are showing up in paid Facebook placement is increasing. You may know the ones, they come from “fan clubs” you’ve never heard of before and don’t otherwise exist, they’re “limited editions” or “limited time”. They’re some folks …
RIP Little Red Haired Girl
We are saddened to report the passage of Donna Mae Wold, the woman who Charles Schulz called “The Little Red Haired Girl”, whom he wanted to marry, and who lent inspiration to Peanuts. She was 87. Donna Mae Wold Obituary | Star Tribune
I will NOT obsess over this like I do Charlie Brown Christmas adaptations!
Having talked about the two book adaptations of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown that I had not expected to buy when I went to my local Hallmark store, what about the one that I did expect to buy? I quickly thought that I did not have to buy it. After …

Hallmark haul
As promised, I went to the local Hallmark shop, and found… no knowledge of the Peanuts sale. No signage. Talked to someone who appeared to be the manager, and she was unaware of such a sale. So I mentioned that it was on Hallmark’s website, and she went into her …
Hallmarkdown!

See Nat! See roller derby! All at once! This can’t end well…
For my Los Angeles-area fans, friends, and followers: I’ll be appearing tomorrow, Saturday August 13, at the Derby Comic-Con… which is a small comic convention being held before and through half-time of a roller derby match! Yup, your L.A. Derby Dolls decided to put on something special, something unique. Will this turn …
A correction
In the post that I made on the contents of Complete Peanuts 26, I accidentally referred to some of the material having appeared first in Playboy, which was simply a mind-buffer error. That material had appeared in Sports Illustrated. (I was also having some dealings with the works of Dedini, a cartoonist …
