P:PAPS
Well, I’ve finally taken the shrink-wrap off of Peanuts: Play Along Piano Songs, the musical item with the integrated 9-key musical keyboard and 9 built-in songs. Press one of the song buttons, the music plays, then the book coaches you through playing the song by lighting up each key you’re …
Snoopy’s many rescues
The book that was previously listed just as Peanuts Spring Collection 2017 now has a title, Snoopy to the Rescue. It’s a good name… which is why it’s been used before. Repeatedly. In 1991, the UK’s Ladybird Books published snoopy to the rescue (lower-case theirs), a storybook by Gordon Volke. In 1987, …
Pop fizzles
So I picked this up at Target. This is one of a line of figures released around the time of The Peanuts Movie, although it’s not a movie license; now, it was 75% off its original price, bringing it down under $3. The Pop! line, for those who don’t know it, …
So what IS in Complete Peanuts 26
When Fantagraphics asked me to help make a 26th volume for the always-announced-as-25-volumes Complete Peanuts series, they were only looking for half a book of cartoon material, of Schulz Peanuts that hadn’t appeared in the daily strip and thus hadn’t been in the other 25 volumes. So I rounded up some …

Nat at Beaglefest
I’ve gotten inquiries about my appearance at Beaglefest (in less than two weeks.) I will be giving a talk on Thursday night. I will -not- be there for the rest of the event, as Beaglefest is the same days as the San Diego Comic-Con, which is a business event for …
Comic-Con Peanuts exclusives EXTRA!
We’ve covered all the items that will only be available at the Peanuts booth at the San Diego Comic-Con, but that’s not all the exclusive Peanuts items you will only find at the con. Dark Horse Comics, publisher extraordinaire (by which I mean that they paid me on time for the …
Comic-Con Peanuts Exclusive #4: Woodstock
The fourth and final of the exclusives that will be available at the Peanuts booth (#1637) at the San Diego Comic-Con (and I’d list the dates, but why bother? If you don’t already have a ticket, you ain’t getting in!) is also another fourth – the fourth Schleich figure available …
