The Snoopy Show
On Sunday, while the world was reminding us that not only is Terry Bradshaw not the quarterback with the most Super Bowl wins ever, he doesn’t even have the most wins of a person with his initials, I was watching something else. Specifically, I watched the first episode of The Snoopy …
2021 shall not be a barren year, in the most vital way
Coming in September is the the thing that mankind cherishes most of all (well, at least if I’m a totally random sample): a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. Oh, not totally new. This is Running Press, who have recycled the same little 128 page mini-book edition since …
Scotland Bound, Charlie Brown is now available for pre-order!

Good Grief, Bart Simpson
A Simpsons Wiki reminds me that even Bart Simpson is a Peanuts book fan, carrying this in his lunchbox. (Good Grief, More Peanuts is an actual Peanuts book title, albeit not with this cover. I am now tempted to turn this into a dust jacket for one of my copies.)

Review: Happy Holidays, Charlie Brown
So, I got my copy of Peanuts 70th Anniversary Holiday Collection Limited Edition, the Blu-ray boxed set with comes with a Snoopy figure and a book. And yes, I bought it for a book. A little book, 5.5 inches by 5 inches, 64 pages. And if the world really wanted …
