Coming in April from Running Press is a newly revised edition of Peanuts Guide to Life, the original edition of which I reviewed back in 2005. I’m not sure whether the revisions will extend beyond the foreword; they’re dumping the one co-written by Bill Cosby, and getting a new one …

With the Super Bowl coming up on February 3rd, the fine folks at Warner Home Video will be leading into it with a release of… no, not You’re In The Super Bowl, Charlie Brown. That would be too obvious. No, instead they’re issuing a DVD entitled either Touch Down Charlie …

Yes, I have my copy of the new Kohl’s edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. This doesn’t have the textured cloth cover of some editions of this adaptation (the 2008 one with Tom Brannon art), but it does have a full-color jacket over full-color boards. It’s pretty big, at 10 …

Just released this week is Snoopy’s Holiday Collection, a new boxed set of holiday DVDs… but, well, it’s just a new box for them, with three existing DVDs: I Want A Dog For Christmas, Charlie Brown, which has that special and Happy New Year, Charlie Brown on it. (Oh, and …

I just received a couple new Peanuts books, one I’ll talk about later, but for now, I’ve got one that’s making me quite happy: Snoopy: Cowabunga!, the first in the “Amp” series of strip collections aimed at kids. And it really is nicely put together, and priced well for the …

The mostly-clothing store Kohl’s regular runs Kohl’s Cares merchandise, special products (generally, kids’ books and stuffed animals) that they sell for $5, with the profits going to charity. And with Christmas shopping season coming up, they’ve just launched the new campaign with about a dozen Peanuts items… five stuffed characters, …

So yesterday, Peanuts 12 came out with my longest Peanuts story, “Movie Time”. For those of you who preorder your comic books (which is some of you) and for those of you who buy your Peanuts comics based on whether or not there’s a Nat Gertler story in them (which …

As I mentioned the other day, when Amazon says that a book is delayed a few weeks, sometimes it means it is delayed a few weeks, sometimes it means that they don’t know what’s going on. As proof, Snoopy: Cowabunga, the book that I was told Tuesday would likely be …
