Snoopy Loves to Doodle
I got my copy of Snoopy Loves to Doodle, which is good because my Hallmark doesn’t have that Great Pumpkin book in yet, and my Wendy’s doesn’t have the new Kids Meal book in yet, so I’ve got that itchy Peanuts-books-are-on-their-way feeling, and I needed something to scratch it. But …
Time to push the Great Pumpkin’s buttons
Hallmark has a new book edition of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, one with the little buttons that you push to make sounds that are part of the story. It’s a close cousin to a similar edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas which they published last year. And they’re …
A Charlie Brown CHRISTMAS IN JULY in book form
There are those who say that Christmas is the most special time of year, but I am not among those, for more special to me and my crazed little heart is those times of years when a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas is made available. And these …
a new edition of Young Pillars
I note that a new edition of Young Pillars, the first collection of Schulz’s single panel cartoons for Youth magazine, has popped up on Amazon. Judging by the fact that it had no pre-order listing, that it has no cover image, that it has an odd price ($36.49), and that …
Tip-Top from the Comic-Con
My one-day trip down to the San Diego Comic-Con was loud and crowded and unproductive and yet still worthwhile. I did stop by the Peanuts booth and got the free button of the day – they were all promoting Peanuts on social media sites, and weren’t as cool as the …
The AAUGH Blogger has a quest
As you know, I am sadly maniacal about print adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas. I do have every one of the dozens of editions listed in my guide to A Charlie Brown Christmas books. But I have now verified that there is indeed one edition which I do not …
Get in Shape, Snoopy
A surprisingly recent addition to the AAUGH.com Reference library is Get in Shape, Snoopy!, a book (well, really, a booklet; it is saddle-stitched, which is the fancy publishing term for held-together-by-staples-at-the-spine). This book, published by Golden Books as part of their Golden Little Look-Look Book series, focuses on peer pressure …
Charlie Brown and the nature of love
Is it possible to love something without actually understanding it? It’s a puzzle that has stumped philosophers through the centuries. And with the new Wendy’s Kids’ Meal book I Love Baseball, we can finally affirm that the answer is “yes”. This short book (it’s all two-page spreads, so then 10 …
You May Live Underwater, Charlie Brown!
Now I admit it, from time to time you’ve seen me make a blog post title by picking some descriptive or just plain weird phrase and stick a comma-Charlie-Brown after it. It’s a cheap form of humor, but it can work. And you’re probably thinking that I’m doing that on …
Celebrating Snoopy
The new hardcover from UK Peanuts publisher Ravette, Celebrating Peanuts, is not, as I guessed earlier, a reprint of Peanuts Guide to Life. Nor is it a reprint or abridgement of Celebrating Peanuts: 60 Years. Instead, it’s an original strip collection, covering the entire run of the strip (well, it …
