The Completely Different Language Peanuts
I told you previously about the Chinese edition of The Complete Peanuts coming out of Taiwan. Now I find that there is a French edition and an upcoming German edition, so if you want to read every Peanuts strip but don’t want the headaches that come with reading English, then …
Bad balloons
Oh, I’ll admit it, I’m a format geek. I find the silly little things that have to be done while putting together a book of comics interest… and after I’ve spent a few days in a row figuring out just what shape each word balloon in the new issue of …
Crushing changes

Memories of Schulz

Peanuts All-Stars review
Peanuts All-Stars is a curious choice for a book. With other recent books out there having focused on the baseball strips and the golf strips, this one is meant to cover the other key sports from the strip. It has sections for basketball, football, hockey, and tennis, with plenty of …
