Peanuts Movie puzzle book
Now available from third-party sellers on Amazon is this Spanish jigsaw puzzle book of images from The Peanuts Movie. The title, Carlitos y Snoopy, la película. Mi libro puzle, reflects the Charlie Brown & Snoopy title that the film has in many places.
The relative success of The Peanuts Movie
Yes, box office receipts is kind of a stinky way to talk about movies… but I’m a math person at heart and by training, and when I see numbers, I cannot help but to process them. So I think about The Peanuts Movie and the $129 million in domestic ticket sales …
Peanuts and Me: Global Phenomena
I just got a chance to watch Peanuts: The Global Phenomenon, which is being run on television in various international markets (it has apparently already been run in New Zealand.) This is a fourteen-and-a-half-minute promo for The Peanuts Movie, put together by Toy Box Entertainment, and it’s a nicely built piece …
What happiness is, for the record

Linus’s shorthand.
Today, newspapers reran the December 22, 1968 Peanuts strip, in which Linus is doing shorthand, and I see people asking just what he’s saying. Luckily, a few years back, I asked someone who did shorthand. The first panel says “Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.” The last panel …
Have yourself a book-form Charlie Brown Christmas!
AAUGH Blog fan Bill just alerted me to this item you see pictured, a Walmart Exclusive 50th anniversary set of Charlie Brown Christmas. It’s got two CDs, four postcards (not just postcards, collectible postcards, we are told. They have not been collection-proofed! And looking at them, very non-Christmassy!) And what’s that over at the …
