The new worst Schulz biography
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 …
Schulz on Wash Tubbs
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 …
Snoopy involved in recent news events
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 …

If anyone’s coming to the Wizard World comics convention in Anaheim, California this coming weekend, please stop by and say hi. I’ll be at table 1914 in Artist’s Alley. And while you’re saying “hi”… If you have a copy of The Peanuts Collection, I’ll be glad to sign it. (A …
Clarification on the Sweet Dreams cloth book
Talking about the Sweet Dreams, Snoopy board books, I made a reference to a cloth book called simply Sweet Dreams, based on a seeing it at this Etsy shop. At the time I was thinking “hey, that’s hopefully the only one of the cloth books which I don’t have!” (it’s …
Snoopy’s friends are a bird and a book
As I’ve said before, I’m not a Peanuts collector, I’m a Peanuts book collector. But sometimes “Peanuts” and “book” collide in non-standard ways – witness this tiny pin just sent me from Malaysia:
