Sherlock Snoopy and Evil Schroeder
I think some people assume that I’m known for my Peanuts knowledge because I have a good memory. Really, the opposite is the truth. I’m known because I couldn’t trust my memory to remember which Peanuts books I had, and which books have the same contents as other books, so …
This Friday is blacker than a gumdrop in Pig-Pen’s pocket
I’m a little surprised I’m not seeing more Peanuts stuff in the Black Friday selections (I wouldn’t expect The Movie stuff there yet, it’s too new, but I thought pre-movie licensees might exploit the day). The one thing I do find is that the folks offering those customized Peanuts books …
The AAUGH Blog’s annual holiday message
I post a message like this each year about this time, and those who feel the desire to tune it out should feel free. Still, I promise that I’m doing this without looking at the past iterations, so I may accidentally do something fresh and do it in the fresh …
Molly and the Bear
For those who liked Bob Scott’s work on the Peanuts comic book, he’s got one of his own projects coming out in book form next March. Molly and the Bear is quite shockingly not, as logic would dictate, about a truck driver named Molly who drives around with a chimpanzee named Bear, but …
The Not-As-Many Faces of Snoopy
In 2006, Ballantine Books put out The Many Faces of Snoopy, a 350 page paperback strip collection focused on Snoopy’s various personalities. It’s still available. So when I saw that Andrews McMeel would next year be putting out a hardcover book of the same name (well, minus the The, in the top …
It’s Another A Charlie Brown Christmas, Charlie Brown!
So there I was, serenely confident that I’d found all the new book editions of A Charlie Brown Christmas for the year. I’d gotten the ones that were solicited through normal book channels. I’d gotten the one that Hallmark had produced. I’d even gotten the book of stamps! So I’m done, …
Disney-discounted Peanuts books
If you go to the page for those customized Peanuts board books, you’ll now see: $10 OFF ANY BOOK with code DISNEY through 11/24/15. …which makes it a far better deal (I may finally order some), but kinda odd, don’t you agree?
The most unexpected Peanuts book announcement
I swear, I seriously thought about writing this post for April 1st of this year, figuring all would quickly write it off as an April Fool’s announcement, and so I’d be able to tell the truth right in front of everybody and still keep the secret. But I held off, …
Number two times two
Despite several new movies coming out this past weekend. The Peanuts Movie managed to hold on to the number two spot. It won’t be able to pull off that same trick next weekend, with a new Hunger Games movie and a couple other new films being added to the mix, but …
Snoopy Treasures reviews
This is my post for linking and quoting reviews of my book The Snoopy Treasures… and I intend to quote them all (well, not from mass-review sites, like Goodreads or Amazon), both the good and the bad. Only problem is, as of my initial post on Nov 17, I really don’t …
