Pocky stars
A friend gave this to me, a Japanese candy box. What makes me happiest is not that the Peanuts characters are windsurfing, nor that Belle is front and center (I’m well used to the fact that this very minor strip character is huge in licensing.) No, the happy-making thing is …
LIghtly outlines Peanuts
Got in a couple more books from the UK, Snoopy Saves the Day and Best of Friends. These are two Charlie-Brown-and-Snoopy oriented storybooks, telling original tales using an interesting visual style. The art by Tom Brannon (who has done some interesting modeled-looking Peanuts in the US) takes an interesting tack – he …
Christmas comes at least twice this year
They’re now listing a paperback edition of the new book adaptation of A Charlie Brown Christmas that’s coming out this September (at first, they had listed only a Kindle edition.)

Snoopy Come Home From Around The World
This is a poster I bought off the one and only Andrea Podley about 5 years ago’ but only got it framed up and hung today (someone is coming over tomorrow, and I need the AAUGH.com Reference Library looking as Peanutsy as possible, just in case having over a thousand …
I want my license plate
The fine folks in the California government (specifically the California Natural Resources Agency) asked me to help them encourage Californians to order one of the Snoopy license plates – they’ve got orders for over 5,500, so they have less than 2000 to go to hit that magic 7,500 number where the plate …
An apology
The blog’s been a little dry lately. Sure, I try to put up what I hope are interesting odd things like the piece on the person who provided Lucy’s drawing for Snoopy and “It Was a Dark and Stormy Night”, or yukking it up a bit about the plethora of the …
