The Artist’s Edition price
Amazon is listing the upcoming big Peanuts Artist’s Edition as having a “list price” of $149.99. That may not be accurate. The book was solicited to the comic book stores without a list price; instead, they are being told simply what they would have to pay for it wholesale. It is …
Perhaps I consumed too much pizza too late at night
Okay, I admit it: two nights ago, I had a dream where I was talking to fellow Schulz specialist Derrick Bang in my kitchen, when the phone rang and a threatening voice from whatever-organization-is-bugging-my-house told me that I’d better stop revealing Peanuts secrets. At least, I hope that was a …
The no-good “no-good because”
There’s a way that I’ve seen folks discussing Peanuts projects over the past decade or so that I find a little irksome. They’ll see some bit of non-Schulz Peanuts somewhere, and consider it not to be good… which I have no problem with (I certainly feel that there are better …
CORRECTION: Peanuts Artist’s Edition
My previous posting had said that the Peanuts Artist’s Edition would be reprinting art at its original dimensions. Unfortunately, that is not the case; due to the large size that Schulz worked at, the publisher has chosen to vary from the standard with such books and reduce the work when …
Peanuts Artist’s Edition now orderable
CORRECTED: Previously, this entry said that the art would be reproduced at the original size. That is incorrect; it is being reduced. The error has been removed. That big “Artist’s Edition” that is reproduces Peanuts original art? It’s now available for preorder. I always push preordering, and on this, I’m …
Peanuts teaser reaction
Having now watched the few brief seconds of footage that aired on Good Morning America (at 8:36 here on the west coast feed, for those who may be looking for it in a recording), about the most I have to say is “yeah, it looks like those still images”. It …
This will be awesome, presumably
Coming in November is Be Awesome, yet another in the Peanuts Wisdom To Carry You Through series. Our national wisdom shortage will soon be over!
Peanuts movie trailer airing in the morning
Apparently, Good Morning America will be running a “teaser” for the Peanuts movie on Tuesday (likely when you’re reading this), but USA Today has an article on it with a couple of images. The modeling from the 3-D has an interesting effect, unsurprisingly reminding me of the effect of Tom Brannon’s …
No undercover loving here
Here’s what’s being shown as the cover for Be Loving, the December addition to the Peanuts Wisdom To Carry You Through line. However, I’m pretty sure that this cover will be changed before release. For one thing, the final cover will probably not say “Cover Not Final” on it. I …
