Tales of the Werebeagle
I’m having some problem adding new images to the blog at the moment, so I’ll keep this just a text post. You can see the images at the links. Looks like this year’s Halloween book from Hallmark is The Tale of the Werebeagle, a hardcover kids storybook with a <SPOILER WARNING> …
Comic-Con report
Saturday was my one day at the San Diego Comic-Con for the year. The past two days, I’ve been recovering from it. The convention was sold out, as it always has been for years now… but the show floor was less crowded than usual. Oh, there were still plenty of …

Peanuts booth items, Comic-Con 2022
I’ve managed to get my hands on a picture of the special items that will be offered at the Peanuts booth at Comic-Con later this week. Unfortunately, what I’ve not been able to get my hands on is any text description of what these items are. So here I’ve marked …

So once again they’re going to have a Peanuts pop-up “experience” (read: interesting display, with some items for sale) that is near but outside the convention, which means it will be open to folks who were not able to get into the con itself. This year, it’s themed “All Things …

The Peanuts Story Box is a boxed set of reduced-sized (I’d eyeball it at about half the original dimensions) versions of eight Peanuts storybooks, specifically …
