An upcoming book
As I’ve said before, when I’m on the “inside” of some project, I’m not always free to talk about the details. But no one can fault me for linking to a listing that’s already on Amazon….
Charlie Brown Christmases for preorder
I promised I’d tell you when this year’s books editions of A Charlie Brown Christmas were ready for preorder, and here they are: The pop-up edition The holiday boxed set Also Snoopy & Woodstock: Best Friends is now shipping.
Things I’d be adding to the AAUGH.com reference library if shipping from Japan wasn’t so costly
I just like this cover: I’ve lusted after this one here before. The lust has not abated. Because speaking is what Snoopy is known for: And my wish today to all of you: :
Ten years later, part 2
Ten years ago today, the final Peanuts strip came out. It seemed like the end of Peanuts, but really it wasn’t. The strips were still there, and so few of us had read them all, so there was still much more to discover. There are still rarely-seen pieces being unearthed …
Ten years later, part 1

Ooh, La La, Peanuts!
