I promised I’d tell you when this year’s books editions of A Charlie Brown Christmas were ready for preorder, and here they are: The pop-up edition The holiday boxed set Also Snoopy & Woodstock: Best Friends is now shipping.
Things I’d be adding to the AAUGH.com reference library if shipping from Japan wasn’t so costly

Ten years later, part 2
Ten years ago today, the final Peanuts strip came out. It seemed like the end of Peanuts, but really it wasn’t. The strips were still there, and so few of us had read them all, so there was still much more to discover. There are still rarely-seen pieces being unearthed …
