Double-header

I had been lacking books from the Snoopy Museum in Tokyo, so when I saw one one for sale on eBay, I chunked up some money and ordered it. It was a bit more than I like to spend on one book… which is why I was so happy when …

Review: Snoopy (Classic Cartoon Character Bios)

The Abdo Kids : Classic Cartoon Character Bios books are blatant stuff-to-fill-school-libraries material. Sturdy hardcovers, lots of pictures, 24 pages, little text – about 250 words. The Snoopy volume uses Snoopy images from just about anywhere: strips (appropriately licensed), animation, photos, The Peanuts Movie publicity materials. And the simple facts it …

A needle-ssly fine present

Being a) an adult and b) not a Christmasian, it makes sense that I’m not given much in the way of Christmas presents. This year’s haul was just two items, both given by Dr. Mrs. The AAUGH Blogger: a Terry’s Chocolate Orange (yum!), and this Peanuts embroidery book from Japan. …

Double Love

Simon Spotlight has dropped two books for the Valentine’s Day Shopping Season, and they’re pretty similar.

This issue, intended for Dicembre – Febbraio 2022, is Christmas-themed. It …

Brazilian Christmas

The latest addition to the AAUGH.com Reference Library is… no, wait, I’m lying. I’ve had this book sitting nearby for months now, just waiting for me to get around to it. But there was no rush, it’s a 2010 book published in Brazil, so it’s not something you’re probably going …

Charles M. Schulz: Pinko scum?

As with most of my history finds, I found the column when I was looking for something else, something only related because they both had the term “comic strip.” But there it was… George Boardman, PhD, was telling the world that there was a problem with socialist propaganda on America’s …

Review lightning roud

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. …

The Doctor is a Liar

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 …
