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 …
To Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Linus, and especially Lucy
I just ran into a Peanuts reference that I had not remembered in a favorite piece of pop culture, The Mary Tyler Moore Show. It’s a second season episode, “The Care and Feeding of Parents”. Bess, the daughter of Phylis, Mary’s downstairs neighbor, is writing a book, and she proposes to dedicate …
Now available: The Snoopy Treasures!
At long last, that we have all been waiting for when we didn’t have anything better to do has occurred: my new book The Snoopy Treasures: A Celebration of the World Famous Beagle has started shipping from Amazon! And the reviews have started coming in, and so far, they’ve all been …
Updates on release dates for Snoopy Treasures and Peanuts Movie 2: Franklin’ Trainin’
Three minutes ago, Amazon was listing my new book The Snoopy Treasures as going to be in stock on November 21. I reloaded the page now, and it’s now November 16. In either case, it will be available in plenty of time to be given as a Thanksgiving gift, if you want …
The Humble Bundle gets even less Humble
The Humble Bundle folks have added two more Peanuts book to their Peanuts book deal (and yes, it’s retroactive; if you’ve already paid for your bundle, you get these books as well.)

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 …
