Following up on the earlier post on the Japanese Snoopy magazine, I am pleased to announced that we can now identify the object of Snoopy’s affections in this teen dream shot. It’s Italian movie actor Ray Lovelock. And (unlike many teen dreamfuel of the past) Ray is still a successful  …

The Complete Peanuts 1969-1970 will be shipping soon. Should you buy it? Well, yes, of course. If you’re reading the AAUGH Blog, you’re the sort of person who should be buying all these volumes. Why do you even ask me such silly questions? Having just finished reading through it, I …

I have in my slightly-peanut-buttery-smelling mitts the book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas. No, not that one. No, not those. This years. No, not this year’s snow-block adaptation, this year’s non-snow-block edition. Yeah, this one. And yes, this is a brand new adaptation. Someday (not at least a theoretical …

The mailman must like me, because he’s been bringing me a lot of Peanuts goodies lately. Today, it’s an issue of a Japanese Snoopy magazine from the 1970s. And I feel like going through it right now, so here I go. The cover is a particularly low-resolution of Snoopy looking, …

The postal carrier just brought me some copies of A Peanuts Halloween, the trick-or-treat minicomic. First, let me note that by minicomic, they don’t mean “pocket-sized”.

Now shipping: It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. What, that’s not specific enough? You’re right. I should say that now shipping is the book adaptation of It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. What, still not specific enough? Okay, it’s the Running Press book adaptation of It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie …

Well, I’ve got my hands on the Peanuts-covered issue of Racer X Illustrated which I mentioned earlier. It’s apparently not on the stands quite yet — I checked my local Borders yesterday, and they still had copies of the previous issue out (which means that the next issue should be …

Just shipped from Fukuoka to the AAUGH.com reference library is a Peanuts kanji (Japanese handwriting) workbook. Well, it’s kind of Peanuts. There are Peanuts chracters on the cover, and along the edges of 5 of the 88 interior pages. That’s not to say that there aren’t cartoon characters throughout the …

A couple years back, a talented one-time collaborator of mine named Adam Rex came out with a children’s book of humorous poems about monsters, called Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich. I meant to blog about that here not only because the book was very funny (which it was) but because when …
