Clarification on the Sweet Dreams cloth book

Talking about the Sweet Dreams, Snoopy board books, I made a reference to a cloth book called simply Sweet Dreams, based on a seeing it at this Etsy shop. At the time I was thinking “hey, that’s hopefully the only one of the cloth books which I don’t have!” (it’s …

The Peanuts kiss countdown

Over at another website, they were polling people to name the 5 greatest kisses in comics history – and being the man that I am, all of the good kisses which came to mind were from Peanuts (sounds of shocked surprise fill the room). So for Valentine’s Day, I thought …

My apologies

I just put out a post that had “2010 is coming” in the title. Please rest assure that this was inaccurate; 2011 is coming. For better or for worse, we will not be simply rerunning the current year. (Better, overall.)

Christmas is here, 2010 is coming

I hope you’re all enjoying your Christmas – the family, the food, and not least of all, the gifts (and remember, if you have a new Kindle, or an iPad with a Kindle app, the price of Schulz’s Youth has been cut to $4.99 for the time being). But let’s …

As I type this, you have about an hour-and-a-half left to order gifts to arrive before Christmas, with overnight shipping. After that, you can, of course, still order gift cards to print out or email. (Although I bet if you can get the owner of that Schulz Christmas card art …

I Want a Dog, tonight

The hour-long Peanuts special I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown airs in the US on ABC tonight, and then again on Saturday – which will be a rerun about Rerun! My posting about the Peanuts pillow book generated enough orders that I thought there might be a general …

My annual thinking-about-presents post

This would’ve been Schulz’s 88th birthday. I assume you were all out buying him presents early this morning? Me, I skipped the early morning madness. For one thing, there is little that I need in terms of the sort of thins which go on sale. We have computers that work, …
