My son is 20 months old now, and generally hasn’t paid much attention to the TV. That’s starting to change, but still, most of the time if he’s in the room and the TV is on, he’s busy doing something else, often pestering someone to help him page through one …

“But WAIT!” I hear you cry. “If Sweet Dreams, Snoopy is just a shortening of the Snoopy’s Doghouse Library book of the same name, perhaps other Wendy’s Kid’s Meal books are just shortenings of books from that esteemed library!” First off, you’re becoming obsessed. I can hear your voices screaming …

Last posting, I encouraged you not to confuse the different books entitled Sweet Dreams, Snoopy or some variant thereof. However, now that I have the new Wendy’s Kid’s Meal board book Sweet Dreams, Snoopy in my little Frosty-stained mitts, I can give you free rein to go ahead and confuse …

I know this is a Peanuts comics oriented blog, but I’m going to begin this post with a digression (which I’m not sure it technically accurate phrasing; can one truly being something with a digression? But I digress.) In the history of Archie Comics publishing, there is a series titled …

I‘ve just read (from a publisher-supplied PDF – the book hits comic book shops tomorrow and has a bookstore release date in two weeks) the graphic novel adaptation of Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, and let me tell you – it works. It works largely because they treat …
