Comes with more bamboo sticks than any other Peanuts product I can think of!
This set of things-to-hold-up-to-yourself-while-getting-your-picture-taken, Peanuts Photo Props, is listed as a hardcover book. Seems more like a box thing, I don’t know, but as long as they’re saying that, hey, it qualifies for my coverage. (It’s also listed as 23 pages, which is mathematically problematic.) I’m hoping the pictures on the …
Maybe it’s a treasure hunt!
Yes, my new book The Snoopy Treasures was supposed to start shipping today. No, it did not actually start shipping today. No, I don’t know how long the delay is. Yes, the book exists. I have copies. We shall see.
e-Small World
A couple years back, I reprinted a collection of this odd comic strip which launched in 1952. Small World by Sam Brier handles adult concerns in kids in a different way than Peanuts does, by depicting two kids who are pretending to be adults… or is it adults drawn as …
Peanuts loses to a Seuss
The final weekend tally for The Peanuts Movie in North America is in, and at $44,213,073, it remains the second biggest opening weekend for a non-Pixar G-rated movie, beaten out by Horton Hears a Who…. which was also directed by Steve Martino. (Not that any of this is directly important; the long-term …
Snoopy in Chinese English
Go here for some coverage by CNC World, a China-based English language news channel, of the Snoopy Hollywood Walk Of Fame dedication. Yes, I’m blogging this mainly so that certain people can see my incompetency at trying to hold my book up to the camera (I appear at 2:19). I’m trying to …
Free – the part of The Peanuts Movie my audience is least interested in.
For some reason, Fox has put the full cartoon short “Cosmic Scat-tastrophe” on the web for free. This is the Ice Age short that runs before The Peanuts Movie. Alas, they have not chosen to do that with the feature itself yet. (And it’s hard to blame them on that!)
The Peanuts Movie, of course
I’m just back from my second viewing of The Peanuts Movie (the kids wanted to see it), this time in 2-D… and I was right, it works just fine in 2-D. And I see that the weekend box office estimates are up. Now, these are a silly thing, they release these …
How to be a Grrrl!
I just got How to Be a Grrrl! which according to its cover is by Lucy Van Pelt herself. This is a collection of strips (and selections from strips) starring Lucy, about feminism and power. They attempt to use a ‘zine-style design asthetic, with the strips put in front of backgrounds that …
Big Book sighting
AAUGH Blog reader Bobby just dropped me an email to let me know that he’d sighted the 1960s volume of The Big Book of Peanuts, with all the daily strips from that decade, in a big pile at his local Costco in Virginia, along with copies of the 1970s and …
