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 …
Exemplary Peanuts
One expects to find Peanuts discussions in all sorts of places, to the degree that while I’m tempted to say it was a surprise to find the topic in The Background of Social Reality: Selected Contributions from the Inaugural Meeting of ENSO (that’s the European Network on Social Ontology), I’d be …
What a Peanuts book collector becomes
I just found out (actually, I think this was pointed out to me once before, but I forgot) that the British edition of The Complete Peanuts: 1959-1960 has an introduction not by Whoopi Goldberg (as the US edition has), but by Russell T. Davies. Davies, who talks (among other things) …
Look and Find Snoopy
The folks at Publications International, Ltd., seem to be less interested in serving the bookstore market and more interested in selling big piles of books to big box stores and supermarkets than to be selling onesy-twosy to bookstores. Perhaps this is why Look and Find: Snoopy, which was released in …
Rats! It’s Chinese!
So I stumbled across this Kindle book on Amazon, Rats! by Charles Schulz. And as the cover and descriptor make clear, it’s in traditional Chinese. It had a supposed length of 13 pages, and the file size was small enough that it was clear the book had few if any …
