All-Mistakes and All-Sports All-Stars
My apologies: I just accidentally posted a message to the wrong blog, so those of you who get the AAUGH Blog via email accidentally got something intended for the 24 Hour Comics Day blog. But as long as I’m writing this, I might as well follow up with the next …
Peanuts Bargainthology

Museum books at sub-museum prices, and other notes
I’m back from Comic-Con International: San Diego (me and about 100,000 other joyous geeks, egads). The fine folks from the Schulz Museum had a booth there once again, and a lot of folks were grabbing up a t-shirt that has Snoopy posing with Earl, the dog from the comic strip …
Peanuts All-Stars and others

Kids repeat themselves
Looks like we’re going to get yet another rerelease of Kids Say the Darndest Thing, Art Linkletter’s 1957 book of anecdote’s from his House Party series, with illustrations by Schulz.
British recycling
The folks at Ravette are planning more recycled volumes for later this year. August brings two more of the Snoopy 2-in-1 collections, which each reprint two of the Snoopy Stars/Snoopy Features volumes. However, I don’t yet know which titles these two reprint. They’re also offering up a UK edition of …
Joe Cool covers silence
Here’s a first look at the cover of It Goes Without Saying, October’s collection of silent Peanuts strips. I find it amusing that the main image for a book focusing on the lack of words shows a character with words on his shirt. But then, I think it’s odd that …
More Peanuts kids books
There haven’t been a lot of new Peanuts kids books being announced lately. You may not have realized it, but I sure did. It was certainly a switch from the avalanche we were getting before. Up until yesterday, we only had one kids book upcoming on the Upcoming Peanuts Book …
