The Peanuts Collection really cheap!
AAUGH Blog reader Eddie just mentioned to me the great deal he got on my book The Peanuts Collection at Barnes & Noble – and I checked it out and he’s right. Checking their online store, you can buy this considered-a-bargain-at-$35 book for $8.98! They offer free shipping in the …
Die Peanuts Schatztruhe!
I was sitting at home, growing ill and grumpy, when a package arrived with something that I had no idea existed: my book, The Peanuts Collection, in German. It comes out next month, from Panini! Woohoo! (Preorderable here)
The Pastor is In; the book is not out.
As best as I can tell, the book that I am holding does not exist. What I mean is that, other than the route through which I got it, I can find no other mention of it on the Internet. However, it is a 2013 book published by Hallmark, and …
Upcoming stuff
They’ve released this new cover image for the first volume of Peanuts Every Sunday, the planned ten-volume set reprinting all of the Sunday Peanuts strips in color. This is a common part of the process, having a cover that looks good enough to go out and get the ball rolling, …

Being vastly ignorant of classical music myself, I couldn’t at the time know how …
I have no issue with an issue not having me
I just learned that issue 11 of the Kaboom! Peanuts comic book series (coming out later this month) will not have any of my stories in it. I’m only pointing this out because I didn’t want anyone buying the issue, not seeing a story from me, and assuming that I’m …
Will the Peanuts movie stand out from the crowd?
There’s a new Peanuts film coming up in 2015, and for me the real question is will it seem very Peanuts-y, or more in the modern style of kid-aimed animated films? I’m certainly hoping for the former, and think there’s a good chance we’ll get it. Here’s a good article …
Racing Peanuts
The latest thing in the AAUGH.com Reference Library isn’t a reading item. It’s a car; specifically, a limited edition 1/24 scale model of Tony Stewart’s Great Pumpkin-themed stock car, which he drove in the Sharpie 500 in August, 2002. It’s a combination of one thing I am heavily into – …
Exemplary Peanuts
One expects to find Peanuts discussions in all sorts of places, to the degree that while I’m tempted to say it was a surprise to find the topic in The Background of Social Reality: Selected Contributions from the Inaugural Meeting of ENSO (that’s the European Network on Social Ontology), I’d be …
