One for all you Al Roker completists

The intro writer for the next Complete Peanuts volume has been announced – it’s Al Roker of the Today show. Meanwhile, today’s big Amazon deal is a fairly cheap price on a 47 inch TV. I’m going to feel guilty inviting people to my Super Bowl party in a couple …

Discount Peanuts cocoa

For about the next hour-and-a-half, Amazon has Peanuts Good Grief Cafe It’s the Great Pumpkin Halloween Orange Hot Chocolate on sale, 3 canisters for $13. I’ve no idea if that’s a particularly good deal; I just wanted an excuse to type the full name of it.

A foreign view of Schulz’s America

As a publisher, I’m being made happy by this article on the new French edition of Schulz’s Youth, which looks at this collection of Schulz’s Christian youth cartoons as window onto American religiosity. It’s an interesting outsider perspective on the work, and I look forward to seeing the response to …

Oops, big savings and free shipping before Christmas!

I missed the fact that BN is claiming that (unlike Amazon), their free shipping will still get there before Christmas… making the bargain all the better. So in addition to getting Celebrating Peanuts for 57% off cover, you can get The Complete Calvin and Hobbes for 54% off, or even …
