Snoopy in Chinese English
Go here for some coverage by CNC World, a China-based English language news channel, of the Snoopy Hollywood Walk Of Fame dedication. Yes, I’m blogging this mainly so that certain people can see my incompetency at trying to hold my book up to the camera (I appear at 2:19). I’m trying to …
Morning notes
Well, today’s work for me will consist of going to see The Peanuts Movie… and any work day that involves 3-D glasses and a bucket of popcorn is a good one. A few quick notes: One thing I find interesting about those two Scholastic Books Peanuts deals I mentioned the other …

The Peanuts Collection is now a collectible
It looks as though my book The Peanuts Collection is now out of print in English. That’s not a surprise; it’s been out five years, and it’s not an easy book to do a reprinting on, as it has all those removable items and really has to be assembled. Some of …
Now to put my house back in order
I just had a quartet of moviemakers in my house, interviewing me and filming some of the stuff in the AAUGH.com Reference Library as part of a documentary they’re making to promote The Peanuts Movie. So I put on my act-like-an-expert hat, took off my glasses (they were causing an odd …
