Peanuts ornament book
When I first heard about the Peanuts Collectible Ornaments book, I put it down fairly low on my priority list. It wasn’t cheap (thirty bucks), and while it qualifies for the AAUGH.com Reference Library, books of pictures of stuff are a relatively low priority. However, the author is selling off …
Schulz bio covers
In my post the other day showing Schulz biographies reusing the same cover photos, I left out this pair, one an upcoming book, the other from 2001: But hey, as long as we’re doing Schulz biography covers, let’s take a look at a better-designed one for an upcoming volume: This …
A Boy Named Charlie
Today’s addition to the AAUGH.com reference library (well, one of them, I don’t mention everything I get) is the souvenir booklet for the Japanese release of A Boy Named Charlie Brown. About 8 1/3″x 11 2/3″, this 20 page booklet has character descriptions, some text presumably on the plot and …
For the Snoopy bookmakers. Also, discount Willie & Joe
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference library isn’t a book. Well, not yet. Instead, it’s a book kit, a big fabric panel with pages and instructions. With a little cutting and a little sewing, I can make my own soft book. Or, I suppose, a really weird-looking shirt. (And …
Schulz biography ditto machine
The other day’s post about the two similarly-covered upcoming Peanuts books reminded me to post this look at some of the biographies of Schulz that have been done, generally as part of sets of biographies meant to fill school library shelves: It’s understandable… there are only so many file photos …
an apology
I have come to understand that in my zeal for all things Peanuts-booky, I may have, in the past year or so, spent too much time focused on book adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas, to the detriment of other things which I may have covered. Here, I hope to …
Gained in translation
So last night I was looking at the Peanuts strips in the Hebrew language primer Olam Gadol – Bet (what, weren’t you?), and I find the above strip. Now, Hebrew reads from right to left, so obviously they reordered the panels so that the first one is on the right. …
the library is back and growing
The AAUGH.com Reference Library has now been unpacked after our recent move. Well, mostly. There’s still a box or two that I have to locate – most frustratingly, this includes the box that has all of our various book adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas. But meanwhile, the Library continues …
helpful Peanuts booklets
Psychiatric advice from a Peanuts character may cost a nickel, but life advice is free, courtesy of the folks at MetLife. The insurance company has dozens of 24-page booklets available for reading at their website, illustrated with ten or so Peanuts images apiece. You can even call and request that …
More on Comic Hits
I thought that the earlier post on the Australian Comic Hits comic was, well, actually more than anyone would want to read on it. But a kind note from AAUGH Blog reader and comic shop owner Jim reminds me that prudence dictates I say a wee bit more. I don’t …
