Civilization can end now; we have a book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas
The big pile of books that arrived yesterday had mostly The Peanuts Movie-related items… but I’m going to start looking at the pile with the new book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas. That’s right, I’m eating dessert first! And this is indeed an all-new adaptation, not just a reformatting of an …
Peanuts 29
The Kaboom Peanuts comic book returns in December, with issue 29. This is the cover (minus the logos and such, naturally) The plot is described simply as “Peppermint Patty asks Charlie Brown to help out on her baseball team. “
Peanutize yourself
I’m not showing a lot of the promotion for The Peanuts Movie, because there is so much of it, but this is a bit of fun: an editor to create a Peanuts Movie version of yourself. This is the best I could do for me (seen here with the star …
