Just added to the shelves of the AAUGH.com reference library… well, not to the shelves, they’re pretty full, but to one of the piles near the shelves (I really do have to get this all straightened out one day) is It’s Springtime Snoopy, which is really a beginning English language …

Following up on the earlier post on the Japanese Snoopy magazine, I am pleased to announced that we can now identify the object of Snoopy’s affections in this teen dream shot. It’s Italian movie actor Ray Lovelock. And (unlike many teen dreamfuel of the past) Ray is still a successful  …

The mailman must like me, because he’s been bringing me a lot of Peanuts goodies lately. Today, it’s an issue of a Japanese Snoopy magazine from the 1970s. And I feel like going through it right now, so here I go. The cover is a particularly low-resolution of Snoopy looking, …

Just shipped from Fukuoka to the AAUGH.com reference library is a Peanuts kanji (Japanese handwriting) workbook. Well, it’s kind of Peanuts. There are Peanuts chracters on the cover, and along the edges of 5 of the 88 interior pages. That’s not to say that there aren’t cartoon characters throughout the …

My latest Peanuts purchases hail from Mexico, as so many things (and folks) around here in Southern California do’ First off we have Felicidad Es Un Perrito Calientito, a Spanish language adaptation of Happiness is a Warm Puppy.

Play It Again, Schroeder! is now shipping. Nicely, this is not a Schroeder-themed strip collection; it’s a music-themed collection. That means that it’s still Schroeder-heavy, of course, but not to the degree that they had to scrape up every Schroeder strip out there (in contrast to the recent Pig-Pen-themed collection). …

Having read through my copy of Unseen Peanuts (being given out for free on Free Comic Book Day next Saturday — yes, my elves have secured me a copy already), I should note that in addition to having about 150 strips that were not in US reprint books until the …

After wanting a copy for a while, I’ve just added Monsieur Schulz et ses Peanuts, a commentary book about Peanuts by Marion Vidal. What makes this discussion of the strip interesting is that rather than being illustrated with examples of the strip itself, it’s filled with parodies and tribute drawings …

Here in the US (well, here to me; not all of you blog readers are “here” !), we have The Peanuts Guide to Life, a 128 page book of philosophy pulled from the strips (which I reviewed.) It turns out that in England, they have twice the book, each only …
