Charlie Brown’s Hidden Christmas Treasures
The second of the Peanuts Look And Find books, Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown. is in my hands, and this is a book with some nice features for the dedicated Peanuts fan. As noted earlier, this is not a storybook, but a search-the-picture puzzle book. And to answer the lingering earlier …
Lucy Says cover
This is the cover to Lucy Says, the penultimate Wendy’s Kids Meal Under-3 Peanuts book. As suspected, it features the round-headed kid not at all. Rather, it’s full -on Queen Lucy, Stratocaster-shaped noggin, frilly dress, and all. Wendy’s has released this new batch of Kids Meal toys; if your local …
Changing the blog trimmings
With our Amazon deal back in place, I’ve gotten rid of the “tip jar” that was at the left of the blog, both because it felt like I was presenting this blog as a charity of some sort, and because it simply (and expectedly) had no effect, with no tips …

It’s the It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown Deluxe Edition cover, Charlie Brown!
Here’s the cover to the upcoming deluxe edition of It’s the Easter beagle, Charlie Brown, a design match to the earlier deluxe books of the Christmas and Great Pumpkin Day specials. It’s due out for February.
Did you know there’s a book editon of A Charlie Brown Christmas?
The AAUGH Blogger is happy, and if the AAUGH Blogger is happy, odds are good that there’s a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas. And there is! This isn’t a new-from-the-ground-up edition, however. It’s a version of the sound-button book that was a Hallmark exclusive last year. But …
Dept of Blanket Security
Ridge Rooms, who did a lot of design work on various Peanuts products that have come out over the past few years (although she – yes, Ridge Rooms is a she – is no longer working on Peanuts material) has a portfolio site which includes material I had not seen …
