Clarification on the Sweet Dreams cloth book

Talking about the Sweet Dreams, Snoopy board books, I made a reference to a cloth book called simply Sweet Dreams, based on a seeing it at this Etsy shop. At the time I was thinking “hey, that’s hopefully the only one of the cloth books which I don’t have!” (it’s …

Inherited Peanuts gene

My son is 20 months old now, and generally hasn’t paid much attention to the TV. That’s starting to change, but still, most of the time if he’s in the room and the TV is on, he’s busy doing something else, often pestering someone to help him page through one …

What Snoopy reads

Now, let me make something clear. I am not a Peanuts collector. I am a Peanuts book collector. While I may accumulate other Peanuts stuff in various ways, I have no goal of having a complete set of anything or a great array of everything or any such things. In …

All about All About Me

I know this is a Peanuts comics oriented blog, but I’m going to begin this post with a digression (which I’m not sure it technically accurate phrasing; can one truly being something with a digression? But I digress.) In the history of Archie Comics publishing, there is a series titled …
