2013’s Charlie Brown Christmas take 2
Just arrived here at the magnificent AAUGH office campus, we’ve just received the second new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas for this year. Well, calling this a new edition is generous, but I’m a generous soul. What we’ve got here is a rerelease of 2000’s A Charlie Brown …
Not That Snoopy
It’s been a long while since I ran one of my Not That Charlie Brown entries, mentioning a book by or about someone named Charlie Brown. Well, here we have My Life With Snoopy, a new book about a shelter dog. The book is published by Cedar Forge Press, which …
Complete Peanuts enters the nineties
I haven’t had a chance to make my way through my copy of The Complete Peanuts volume 20: 1989-1990. Life has been full of life things and business things, such as talking to a lot of enthusiastic people at that ArtNight event. I arrived just after that filled up the …
TRIUMPH!
Yes, I have my copy of the new Kohl’s edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. This doesn’t have the textured cloth cover of some editions of this adaptation (the 2008 one with Tom Brannon art), but it does have a full-color jacket over full-color boards. It’s pretty big, at 10 …
Cowabunga indeed!
I just received a couple new Peanuts books, one I’ll talk about later, but for now, I’ve got one that’s making me quite happy: Snoopy: Cowabunga!, the first in the “Amp” series of strip collections aimed at kids. And it really is nicely put together, and priced well for the …
My quarry eludes me!
The mostly-clothing store Kohl’s regular runs Kohl’s Cares merchandise, special products (generally, kids’ books and stuffed animals) that they sell for $5, with the profits going to charity. And with Christmas shopping season coming up, they’ve just launched the new campaign with about a dozen Peanuts items… five stuffed characters, …
Snoopy thought he was writing about Linus…
That’s Linux: Konzepte, Kommandos, Oberflächen from 2003… go order it if you need it!
Schulz’s It’s Only a Game – now in COLOR!
Back in 2004, I published a collection of Schulz’s other syndicated feature, “It’s Only a Game”, a fairly short-lived series of single-panel cartoons from the late 1950s. None of these panels had ever appeared in a proper book before; now they all had. Done. Nothing to worry about any longer. …
Die Peanuts Schatztruhe!
I was sitting at home, growing ill and grumpy, when a package arrived with something that I had no idea existed: my book, The Peanuts Collection, in German. It comes out next month, from Panini! Woohoo! (Preorderable here)
The Pastor is In; the book is not out.
As best as I can tell, the book that I am holding does not exist. What I mean is that, other than the route through which I got it, I can find no other mention of it on the Internet. However, it is a 2013 book published by Hallmark, and …
