Snoopy is always in fashion
For those who like their Peanuts gear to go beyond the t-shirt level, here’s a UK designer offering a licensed Peanuts line. I can’t say that their modeling particularly enhances the appeal of the clothes, but then I’m not the target market for a $500 sequined dress. (That’s my story, …
Behind the Candelabra, In Front of the Fence
With HBO showing their new Liberace biopic, I thought I’d take note of a reference to that popular piano player in Peanuts. This image comes not from the strip, but from the comic books… specifically, issue 147 of Nancy, which has a 4 page Peanuts story. You might be momentarily …
The Filth returns
If you’re in the Los Angeles area and didn’t get to see the grown-up unauthorized parody Peanuts characters in Absolutely Filthy before it closed, you’ve got another chance. Next month will see five performances as part of the Hollywood Fringe festival. Apparently they’ve trimmed the show a mite. Info and …
the Star Trek/Peanuts links
With a new Star Trek film about to come out, I’ve been thinking about the links between Peanuts and Trek… and I don’t mean just the interesting moment at which Schulz referenced Star Trek in the strip. There are people links as well – cartoonist Dale Hale, who crafted …
The Beagle Has Landed, Charlie Brown
There’s another all-new Peanuts graphic novel heading our way this fall. From the same folks who did It’s Tokyo, Charlie Brown comes The Beagle Has Landed, Charlie Brown!, a 96-page space travel-themed graphic novel in which Snoopy, the World Famous Astronaut, has to struggle not just with a planned trip …
Snoopy, friends, and one more delightful word
Coming in September is Snoopy and Friends Cupcake Kit, which is showing up on book searches even though the closest thing it has to a book is a recipe card (oh, okay, part of the detail claims a 6 page book, but I have my doubts. Ever try to make …
More upcoming covers, and I was right
We now have the covers for the next to books in the series if Be books that recently began: Be Thankful and Be Friends both be shipping September 3rd. And remember a few weeks back when I noted a new book titled A Charlie Brown Christmas by Charles M. Schulz …
Peanuts by Shultz
“Peanuts by Shultz” – if you are like me, that headline made you flinch (also, you wear out your right sneaker much faster than your left, and you’re a little too fond of donuts, but that really doesn’t matter for the subject at hand.) If you’re a Peanuts fan and …
Free Peanuts on Free Comic Book Day
Free Comic Book Day is coming up (Saturday, May 4, a mere week-and-a-half away), and really, that’s about my favorite holiday of the year. At plenty of comic shops, you show up, and you get a free comic book… or at some places, a bunch of free comic books. What …
The The is The Wrong Thing
At CinemaCon, Fox already started promoting their 3-D animated Peanuts flick, even though it’s not out for over two and a half years yet. Unfortunately, their little teaser video doesn’t seem to have ended up online, so I cannot tell you how their 3-D image of Charlie Brown looked… but …
