Considering its rarity, it’s a good price.
If you head over to Amazon now, you can order a used copy of Peppermint Patty and Marcie for $266, plus shipping. Now that may sound like a lot of money, but consider this: as best as I can tell, this book was never published. This book was an odd …
Schulz bio covers
In my post the other day showing Schulz biographies reusing the same cover photos, I left out this pair, one an upcoming book, the other from 2001: But hey, as long as we’re doing Schulz biography covers, let’s take a look at a better-designed one for an upcoming volume: This …
For the Snoopy bookmakers. Also, discount Willie & Joe
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference library isn’t a book. Well, not yet. Instead, it’s a book kit, a big fabric panel with pages and instructions. With a little cutting and a little sewing, I can make my own soft book. Or, I suppose, a really weird-looking shirt. (And …
Schulz biography ditto machine
The other day’s post about the two similarly-covered upcoming Peanuts books reminded me to post this look at some of the biographies of Schulz that have been done, generally as part of sets of biographies meant to fill school library shelves: It’s understandable… there are only so many file photos …

Peanuts and DVD… no, not that kind of DVD
Charles Schulz would’ve turned 87 years old today. The rest of this post has nothing to do with that. I’ve always been a bit reluctant to post Internet videos here, because so many of them are copyright violations (and as a producer of copyrighted material, I take that seriously). However, …
Correcting Celebrating Peanuts and discounting Dilbert
I’ve seen a number of sites linking to this review on PopMatters of Celebrating Peanuts, the big thick 60th anniversary strip collection, and it’s an interesting piece, but it makes some arguable arguments and gets a few things wrong… and while I’ve addressed some of that in a comment there, …
This year’s Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, with savings before and after
Just got an email from someone who could not find A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving on this year’s U.S. TV schedule. It’s there on Thanksgiving day itself – 8 PM (most areas) on ABC. So after you’ve made your own thanksgiving feast in the toaster, you can share Charlie Brown’s! By …
A Charlie Brown Christmas – the music, cheap!
Amazon is running a sale; you can download the expanded edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas for $5. (Saw it for sale on vinyl the other day – new pressing – for $25.)
