Here in the AAUGH.com Reference Library, we have a section for “Not That Charlie Brown”, which has a couple of biographies of people named Charlie Brown in it. (We do keep the biography of Charlie Brown, Schulz’s co-worker for whom he named the character, separate.) Now I find that released-but-temporarily-unavailable …

I managed to get my copy of the Wendy’s Kids’ Meal book My Favorite Colors a couple days earlier than expected. (In my experience, you don’t even have to walk into the Wendy’s to find when they have the new toys in stock; the ad sheet for the toys their …

The book coming in the next few days to a Wendy’s Kid-Under-3 Meal near you (and, I hope, near me), My Favorite Colors, is not listed as being by Schulz. Rather, it’s by Snoopy himself. In most cases, this would merely be a curiosity, but in this case, it’s problematic. …

Those of you who have been reading for along time may recall that I love to pull apart the short Schulz biographies that are written as part of bulk biography sets for school libraries. They often make up for their short, shallow nature by adding factual inaccuracies or laughably bad …

If you look over at the AAUGH.com Guide’s page to books for which Schulz did introductions and illustrations, you’ll find he did a lot of them over the years. It’s not because he was a particularly masterful writer of such things – he’s not bad, but nothing impressive – but …

It is now a week since it was announced that Osama Bin Laden had been killed… and during that time, the story of what had happened has changed several times. Luckily, The Royal Guardsman – the same folks who brought us the songs depicting the conflict between Snoopy and the …
