The WHAT according to Peanuts?
You’ve heard of The Gospel According to Peanuts, and if you paid close attention to the AAUGH.com newsletter, you’ve heard of The Effective Executive According To Peanuts. But the odds are pretty darned good you’ve never heard of The GMP’s According to Peanuts; I know I hadn’t heard of it …
186 words about Schulz
As promised, I now have the First Biographies book on Charles M. Schulz. This is the youngest-aimed of the school Schulz bios yet, giving us 186 words aimed at kids in the pre-kindergarten through second grade range. It’s about the size of a Little Golden Book (for those used to …
Schulz bios for the schoolkids, again

Got marriage?
I’ve written before about the odd English titles that are on the Tsuru Comics books, the Japanese equivalent of the Fawcett Crest books.

Each plate is …
The -other- Complete Peanuts
The latest addition to the AAUGH.com reference lbrary is Il grande libro dei Peanuts. Can’t wait for the Complete Peanuts? This big, thick book with every single daily (i.e., not Sunday) Peanuts strip from the 1960s. Which would be absolutely great if the strips weren’t in Italian. I mean, I’m …
Peanuts books make my mailbox happy

Woof Woof Wooflet
I’ve gotten my copy of Merry Christmas, Sweetie! Woof, Woof, Woof!, which is a small boxed set that includes a flat cardboard doghouse with Christmas stickers to deorate it with. Also enclosed is a 32 page booklet, 2.75 inches square, with Christmas-themed Peanuts strips reprinted in color, plus Christmas-oriented quotes. …
Halloween all year long
Yup, I’m still playing catch-up with this year’s halloween-themed Peanuts books. It’s never too late to buy them for next year. The major release is Trick or Treat: A Peanuts Halloween, which includes about 130 halloween and fright-themed comic strips taken from the entire run of the strip, including ones …
Wow, this is late
I jus discovered that somehow I let the new book adaptation of It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown slip by without announcement. This isn’t the one that’s part of the line of kiddie books. Instead, this is a miniature hardcover, a la last year’s A Charlie Brown Christmas adaptation. Well, …
