Kindle books
If you didn’t manage to get that free Kindle book by now, alas, it’s too late; it’s now $9.99. So is the Kindle edition of the strip collection The World According to Lucy, which is about 1/3 off of its “digital list price”. That’s also the case for Snoopy at …
Absolutely Filthy, a worthwhile parody
Last night, I was an invited guest to see Absolutely Filthy, a full length play parodying Peanuts currently in its initial run being staged at the Sacred Fools Theater in Los Angeles. Built from material workshopped as part of the Sacred Fools’s weekly late night “Serial Killers” project, this play …
The Schulz bowling book is available
A while back I let you know that I was putting together a small book of Schulz cartoons about bowling… and now it’s available! It’s a thin little thing, 52 pages, a few dozen cartoons, and it’s nothing that the Schulz completist needs (all of the cartoons are already in …
One that got away
Normally, an Asian datebook is not something I’d worry about not having in my collection… but I think you’ll see why I reckon that from time to time in the future, I’ll look back and regret not getting this one. It will hurt, but I will try to be srong …
Snoopy meets Dracula
The development of Print On Demand technology has enabled the publication and international distribution of small projects that previously may not have been seen beyond a handful of photocopies. Such is Dracula Remixed, which is simply a project of a high school English class, with students rewriting portions of Bram …
And you thought it’d be Oopysnay
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com Reference Library is Insuperabilis Snupius, a tall-but-short (48 pages), full-color reprint of daily strips… in Latin. Published in 1984 by the European Language Institute (an Italian publishing house that puts out mainly educational materials), this hardcover includes one nice touch that I always like …
Oooh a review
Okay, I haven’t reviewed Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking because I’m hardly objective on it. But in the interest of providing you with pure, objective analysis, I should point out that the Christian Science Monitor called it “the perfect gift book for the holidays” and that the “design of the book …
Charlie Brown’s Christmas Lists
I’m happy and proud to see that Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking, the book I compiled for Fantagraphics, has made gift suggestion lists at both the L.A. Times and the Comics Reporter.
What I have that you do not (yet)
Just got the contributor copies for Charlie Brown’s Christmas Stocking, which is not in bookstores yet. It’s a nicely solid little hardback, and as the guy credited (in tiny type) with conceiving and preparing the book, I’m quite pleased with it. I hope you will be as well.
a CLOTH edition as in what
Cider Mill Press had befuddled me a bit by their listing of a new edition of Christmas is Together-Time, one of the pics-and-adages books from the 1960s (a la Happiness is a Warm Puppy), which they described various as a “cloth edition” and a “ragbk edition”. Both of those things …
