Happy Next Halloween
For those of you for whom the true pumpkin spice is It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, have I got a board book for you! It’s due in July of next year, so for now you’ll just have to put up with sitting through the whole special rather than the more …
AAUGH! I missed one!
I have failed in my central role as the AAUGH Blogger. To wit, in 2018, a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas came out, and I didn’t detect it until this month! The department store chain Kohl’s, is constantly running their Kohl’s Cares promotion, where they sell books …

REVIEW: To Mom (and Dad), With Love
I managed to let the new Peanuts Mother’s Day special, Snoopy Presents: To Mom (and Dad), With Love, get right by me, because life was rather full about that time. So I caught up with it tonight, and I’m glad I did. The special features various Peanuts kids trying to …
It’s a small thing in It’s The Small Things
I realize I should probably apologize for the lack of postings — when I realized that the posting before this was “it’s only a couple weeks to the next Peanuts special” and this posting is “well, I’ve watched the special a couple days after it’s release and…”, that proves a …
New special just a couple weeks away
Here’s the trailer for It’s The Small Things, Charlie Brown, the new ecology-themed special coming to Apple TV+ an April 15.
What is the title of Charlie Brown All-Stars?
Some of you may recall my frustration over the varying punctuation that has been used in presenting the title of Snoopy, Come Home. The 1966 TV special about baseball has much the same problem (if to a lesser degree, arguably), and it has been there from the very beginning. The …
