Lotsa new book coming
Okay, normally I’d take this bunch of new book announcements for the fall and cover releases and break it into several posts, but I feel like getting this out of the way. We have a cover… well, a box… for the A Charlie Brown Christmas Book and Tree and Music …
A Snoopy Tale cover reveal
Here we have the cover for the upcoming Peanuts storybook A Snoopy Tale, based on the forthcoming Apple TV+ series The Snoopy Show.
Cover reveal: When Snoopy Met Woodstock
So we’ve got the cover to next summer’s storybook, When Snoopy Met Woodstock. And, unsurprisingly for a book that’s a tie in to the upcoming Apple TV+ series The Snoopy Show, it has an animated look to it. I’m curious about this one, and whether they’ll embrace the material from the …
Scotland Bound, Charlie Brown is now available for pre-order!
The Peanuts graphic novel adapting the unproduced TV special that I announced a while back can now be preordered! Yup, it’s Scotland Bound, Charlie Brown, and perhaps it’s just the thing for some Peanuts lover or Scotland lover on your gift list – and by giving them a notice that …
Political Peanuts
A book that I’ve been looking forward to for a while is coming in… well, the Oxford University Press’s website says May, Amazon says June. Charlie Brown’s America: The Popular Politics of Peanuts expands on Blake Scott Ball’s thesis, looking at politics as expressed in the strip (and beyond). I …

A few years back, I let you know about the first collection of the strip Molly and the Bear, by Bob Scott, whose work you might know from the Peanuts comic books. Well, Bob dropped by to let me know that there’s a new book coming out soon (and available for …
Countdown to Halloween!
When is the right time for a countdown to Halloween? You’d think it would be now, but no… it’s July 20th of next year. That’s when the new Peanuts book Countdown to Halloween! is scheduled for release. The book contains 31 presumably-brief tales, one for each day of October. This …
An Amazing Future?
Joe Wos, cartoonist, maze craftsman, and creator of the syndicated feature “MazeToons” (and frequent guest of the Schulz Museum), sent out this image while talking about some unspecified maze collection that will be coming December 2021: Is that a mountain range? The coiled cord of an old telephone handset? A …
Snoopy Comma Home
Ah well. They fixed the cover for the upcoming release of Snoopy Come Home, and now it’s a reuse of the original Snoopy, Come Home cover. But, well, remember when I talked about the question of what is the name of the film Snoopy Come Home? Here’s the situation again. The picture tells …
