Yes, yes, it’s one thing to go after big professional publishers, but it’s cheap to go after some little guy trying to exploit the public domain and the creative commons for their imperfections. What can I say, I’m cheap. And thus I’ll point out that Mr. Schultz-with-a-T has popped up …

So in the wake of recent posts, I’ve been discussing Bad Schulz Biographies with several people, and in a couple instances the topic led to a book I’ve discussed earlier – there’s a company that packages Wikipedia articles (all readable for free) into print-on-demand books (something that Wikipedia will do …

Those of you who have been reading for along time may recall that I love to pull apart the short Schulz biographies that are written as part of bulk biography sets for school libraries. They often make up for their short, shallow nature by adding factual inaccuracies or laughably bad …

“But WAIT!” I hear you cry. “If Sweet Dreams, Snoopy is just a shortening of the Snoopy’s Doghouse Library book of the same name, perhaps other Wendy’s Kid’s Meal books are just shortenings of books from that esteemed library!” First off, you’re becoming obsessed. I can hear your voices screaming …

Last posting, I encouraged you not to confuse the different books entitled Sweet Dreams, Snoopy or some variant thereof. However, now that I have the new Wendy’s Kid’s Meal board book Sweet Dreams, Snoopy in my little Frosty-stained mitts, I can give you free rein to go ahead and confuse …

It’s Sweet Dreams, Snoopy., now available as the kids-under-3 Kid’s Meal toy at the Wendy’s hamburger chain. (So we’re doing at least 4 months in a row – is it possible there will be a new board book every month this year?!?) I’m up late just to post this information. …

I know this is a Peanuts comics oriented blog, but I’m going to begin this post with a digression (which I’m not sure it technically accurate phrasing; can one truly being something with a digression? But I digress.) In the history of Archie Comics publishing, there is a series titled …

I‘ve just read (from a publisher-supplied PDF – the book hits comic book shops tomorrow and has a bookstore release date in two weeks) the graphic novel adaptation of Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, and let me tell you – it works. It works largely because they treat …

I now have all three of the board books that hamburger chain Wendy’s was offering with their Kids’ Meal over the last three months. Yes, yes, I appreciate all the notes of condolence over this large void in my life, but like so few of life’s major problems, this one …

The folks behind the new DVD Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown had a difficult assignment, and they did a strong job with it – it’s not some sort of out-of-the-ballpark homerun where you’ll forget about the great Peanuts specials of the past… but it’s better than a lot …
