It’s been a couple weeks now since I finished reading the uncorrected proofs for Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography, this October’s major new look at the life of Charles Schulz; I’ve held off on posting because I wanted to get the review right. This is a significant book. If you …

This time last week was about halfway through the famed San Diego Comic-Con. Time was when this was quite a good place to find comic book magazines with Peanuts, but as the focus of the event has switched to the new (in comics, TV, and movies) and away from the …

I’m sitting here without my usual computer (it’s in the shop, sniff), and with a rather sizable work that needs reading and reviewing… so of course I put everything off to review something smaller that I’ve been meaning to get to. Summer of Woodstock is the photobook of the Woodstock …

After a while of seeing edition after edition, sometimes it swims in front of my eyes. For example, I just reviewed Peanuts Holidays Through the Year, and it didn’t even strike me until a day later that it was just a Hallmark reprinting of Peanuts Holiday Treasury… still in print, …

Here’s a book that actually came out last year, but escaped my notice until now, because it’s not available through the usual sources. Peanuts Holidays Through the Year is a hardcover collection of five of the Little Simon book adaptations of Peanuts holiday TV specials (the Great Pumpkin, A CB …

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 …

Grrrrrr… I just wrote a write-up of the new book The Dirt on Pigpen, only to have my computer eat it. I’m not going to try to recreate it word-for-word. So let me sum up: Pigpen is more a concept than a character, and the strips are more about how …

Here’s a book that came out last year but I didn’t notice, because it’s not available through the usual sources: Peanuts Collectible Ornaments. It is (apparently, as I don’t actually have a copy yet) a picture-laden guide to all those odd objects that suddenly seem to clog the trees when …

Usually, I don’t pay that much attention to Peanuts calendars, but someone on the alt.comics.peanuts newsgroup pointed out something that explained why I should be paying attention this year.
