Love in motion
I got some very positive reaction to the video I did of the Japanese Moving Book. I also got email from Kato, pointing me to an ad video for that book… which lead me to other ad videos for the series. (If you’re getting this via email, please click through …
Artist’s Edition date kinda set
I told you a couple days ago that the Artist’s Edition was going to land in comic book stores on June 11th. Well, thats what the publisher said. However, as AAUGH Blog reader Joseph pointed out to me, the distributor says that the book will hit shops June 18. Which …
Peanuts in motion
I received my copy of the Japanese (in source; in language, it’s all English!) book Peanuts in Motion: Happy-Go-Lucky (and yes, that is a link to order it from Amazon US.) This is a very, very happy-making item, with a dozen animations that occur when you turn the pages. Watch the …
Artist’s Edition date set
IDW has announced that the Peanuts Artist’s Edition will hit comic book stores next Wednesday, June 11th This does not mean that Amazon will necessarily get them, much less ship them, on the same date. The method of delivery to Amazon is different from the path to the comics shop. …
Not a book by Charlie Brown
As I showed the other day, I’m always interested in books about and even by folks named Charlie Brown. But I’ve found one that’s not by Charlie Brown, it’s by his daughter. That’s how she identifies herself on the book; the author name is Charlie Brown’s Daughter. The book has the …

Amazon has posted this cover for the January 2015 release of another small hardcover strip collection from Fantagraphics, A Valentine for Charlie Brown: Now, usually I would say that this is the cover for the book… but Fantagraphics pretty regularly changes their covers from the initial solicitation, and not just in minor …
Relatively Charlie Brown
As a Peanuts book blogger, I’ve always enjoyed the category of things that look like Peanuts books but aren’t. I found two of them tonight… interestingly similar. Who Are You Charlie Brown? a Search for Family is Wendy Brown’s search for information on her grandfather, one Charles Brown. That’s available …
The World Famous Doctor
I just stumbled across the short parody mashup story Snoopy is a Time Lord by William Hrdina, crossing the TV special “You’re the Greatest, Charlie Brown” with the world of Doctor Who (and not, I think we can assume, authorized by anyone). Now, usually I might not post about a small-time parody …
Peanuts 65th anniversary book #1
For those of you certain that every possible Peanuts book had already come out, and that no new books were possible for next year, you can relax. The world is not about to end…. because it has already been announced that 65 Years of Snoopy, a 196 page paperback, will be …
Peanuts 18
Coming tomorrow (Wednesday, May 28) to better comic book stores is issue 18 of the Peanuts comic book. This issue has (in addition to the stories “Dance Craze” and “Blind as a Bat” and a reprint of a four-daily-strip baseball sequence arranged in the centerfold so it can be removed …
