I’m a few books behind on reviews, so I’m going to try to kick them out simple and quick. The Big Book of Peanuts: All the Daily Strips from the 1990s is exactly the same in format as the four prior volumes of this series, despite it being distributed differently. …
If you’ve been wondering “where can I find unlikely use of Peanuts imagery?”, the wonder no more! For I am here to tell you that it’s on the cover of Henry & Glenn Comics and Stories. “What is Henry & Glenn Comics and Stories?”, I hear you cry. Why, it’s …
While the days of new books popping up at Costco at any time are soon coming to an end, they have not ended yet. The latest is Peanuts: Coloring for Fun and Relaxation, which as you may get is a coloring book — and “adult coloring book”, as such things go. …
