Posh Coloring cover
This is the cover for the Posh Coloring Book: Peanuts that’s coming out next April, and it shows one of the little oddities of Peanuts coloring book in general: one of the central characters is, by nature, black and white! Still, looks like fun.
Peanuts vol. 8
For various reasons, I’m not actually reviewing the collection of the Kaboom! Peanuts comics. However, I now have Peanuts volume 8, and I do have to say that one thing I like about these collections is that they have a cover gallery in the back, and they include not only the …
Gang leadership
Usually, when I order a Peanuts book, I have a pretty good idea of what I’m going to find inside. I do, after all, have hundreds of Peanuts books, and am able to discern patterns. This will be a storybook, that will be a themed strip reprint, and so on. And so, …
The way the AAUGH Blogger’s day is going
I’m feeling pretty ill, something I ate yesterday is apparently having its revenge. I really shouldn’t leave the house, but on Saturday I missed a postal delivery, and I’m pretty sure it’s the shipment from Poland, the one with that last book I need to complete my set of the …
A Charlie Brown Christmas in its original black and white
I did a little unboxing of the A Charlie Brown Christmas Coloring Kit, which is the third new print edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas that I’ve covered this year. (Email blog subscribers can see the video here.) What this video shows, if you pay attention, is: I really need to clean my …
Polish Peanuts redux
As a Peanuts book collector, I’ve gotten so many books that there are actually very few specific titles left that I really feel I “need”. But I just got one of them. In the 1980s, a series of three black-and-white Peanuts books were published in Poland under the title Fistaszki. …
It’s a Tree-Tumbling Christmas, Charlie Brown
Hallmark has released another book featuring their “itty-bittys” reworking of the Peanuts characters, this one with two stuffed Peanuts figures attached to it. While Charlie Brown and Snoopy are already represented in the itty-bittys stuffed line, of course, I believe that to get them in these particular costumes, you have …
Lets hold a panel to decide if two panels is enough
Normally, I don’t cover new coloring books on the blog – there’s just too many of them, and I don’t particularly collect them (although I do accumulate some), but AAUGH Blog reader John sent me this coloring book and while waiting for my first trick-or-treater of the evening, I just noticed …
MetLife very sloooowly got rid of Peanuts
As we come toward the end of the MetLife Peanuts license, I am very amused by the New York Times article titled “Snoopy and the ‘Peanuts’ gang will no longer be Metropolitan Life’s main representatives“ Why am I so amused? Is it full of blatant inaccuracies? Does it have funny pictures? …
A Charlie Brown Christmas keeps popping up!
The second (and not the last) of my new book editions of A Charlie Brown Christmas for this year is A Charlie Brown Christmas: A Hallmark Lighted Pop-up Book, available at better Hallmark stores now. Or soon. Mine didn’t have it on the shelf (yet?), but I ordered it online. This one …
