Things disappear and things reappear
The upcoming Australian book Peanuts Classic Treasury that appeared in Amazon US’s listings has now disappeared from Amazon. I presume it will still come out in Australia, that it had just gotten improperly listed for sale in the US. Oddly, Amazon wrote me just a few days ago to tell me …
Peanuts the Movie the Comic Book
Coming next August is Peanuts Movie OGN. Now, for those of you not used to the terminology of the comics business, OGN is short for Original Graphic Novel, a thick comic book that is not just a collection of thinner comic book. So this is a comic book based on a movie based …
Quilty Pleasures, Peanuts style
Coming in January is Peanuts Quilted Celebration, another one for all you crafty folk out there. It has applique designs! A CD-ROM! A foreword by Jeannie Schulz! All brought to you by the American Quilter’s Society! Am I gonna preorder a copy of this one? Of course I am! Am I going …
Charlie Brown Christmas cloth book
I received my Charlie Brown Christmas cloth book panels from Joann.com. These are, as I noted, fabric panels with pages to cut out and sew together to make a cloth book. This is a short edition, a mere 8 pages including cover. It’s derived from the Tom Brannon-illustrated Running Press …

those 500 new Peanuts shorts
The 500 new short Peanuts animations being created by Normaal in France have been getting some attention of late. There are at least a couple of examples out there, floating around in the wild; I’m not going to link to them here because they appear to be unauthorized. But this …
Adding insult to injury to Peanuts books
In the time between when I web-ordered my A Charlie Brown Christmas book fabric panels and when they will presumable arrive, the JoAnn Fabric website first ran out of panels, then lowered the price by another $2.50 per panel. If I was all out of them, I’d only charge a nickel …
