Schulz’s Youth delay

Sasseville-autographed Schulz book
Not long after the book collection of Schulz’s It’s Only a Game came out, Jim Sasseville (Schulz’s collaborator for most of the run of that feature) was scheduled to appear at the Schulz Museum to do a signing. Unfortunately, the failing health which ultimately took his life prevented him from …

Snoopy video game on the way
The folk making the new Snoopy vs. the Red Baron video game have been sending us press materials, asking if the AAUGH Blog wantd to interview the development team, things like that. That’s outside the standard realm of this blog, of course. But it all got me to thinking. The …
