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 …

Happiness is Jonathan Winters
I’m watching an old Jonathan Winters special from the mid-1960s when suddenly, wham, Peanuts reference. Coming back from commercial, the camera pans across a bunch of stuffed Peanuts dolls piled in and around a toy box. Winters appears, saying “a friend of mine, Charlie Schulz, wrote a book about a …
Not-so-new review.
When I reviewed The Doctor is In in my last blog entry, I thought that I was reviewing a new book. But according to the publisher’s website., the book was released on January 20, 1968! (I really should do a screen capture to prove it says that, but I’m feeling …
At least now I have Charlie Brown’s autograph
Review: It’s not that Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown Remembers Atlanta: Memoirs of a Public Man is an as-told-to book by an Atlanta politician. Published in 1982, with both a full-color image and a fold-out page with all the members of the all-white, all-male Georgia Senate of the late 1950s and …
