It’s a small thing in It’s The Small Things
I realize I should probably apologize for the lack of postings — when I realized that the posting before this was “it’s only a couple weeks to the next Peanuts special” and this posting is “well, I’ve watched the special a couple days after it’s release and…”, that proves a …
New special just a couple weeks away
Here’s the trailer for It’s The Small Things, Charlie Brown, the new ecology-themed special coming to Apple TV+ an April 15.
What is the title of Charlie Brown All-Stars?
Some of you may recall my frustration over the varying punctuation that has been used in presenting the title of Snoopy, Come Home. The 1966 TV special about baseball has much the same problem (if to a lesser degree, arguably), and it has been there from the very beginning. The …

Charles “Chuck” Brown gets his own TV series
He’s a comics character. His real name is Charles Brown, though that’s not what he’s usually called (some call him Chuck). And according to this IGN article, he’s about to get his own animated series. But he’s not the round-headed kid that you may be thinking of. Kite-Man is a …
The AAUGH Blogger gets as SIGNED Snoopy cover!
I just received my latest eBay order. It’s one of the programs for the AT&T golf pro-ams (previously the Crosby Pro-Am), with a Snoopy cover. And it’s autographed! And if you think I’m bouncing around happily because I have a Schulz autograph — don’t be silly! There are so many …
Unofficial archives
