Beagleflash!
The DVD of Snoopy’s Reunion is now shipping. And don’t overlook the second special on it, It’s Flashbeagle, Charlie Brown. I’ve found that there’s a surprising amount of love out there for the Flashbeagle. And hey, as long as I’m posting – if any of you are comic book people …
The ultimate Charlie Brown Christmas gift
AAUGH Blog reader Mark points us to this unique Charlie Brown Christmas item that’s on eBay, in a sale ending in just a few hours: an (apparently) actual script for A Charlie Brown Christmas that was used for rewrites, paste-ups, and the like. At $2500 Buy It Now, this is …
At least now I have Charlie Brown’s autograph
Review: It’s not that Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown Remembers Atlanta: Memoirs of a Public Man is an as-told-to book by an Atlanta politician. Published in 1982, with both a full-color image and a fold-out page with all the members of the all-white, all-male Georgia Senate of the late 1950s and …
I’m in a flinching mode
Maybe because I’ve done two eight-hour drives in the past three days, but I find myself in a picky mood. And having come back from my travels to find two Peanuts books waiting for me, I may be turning an extra picky eye on them. The first one I looked …
Security Blankets now shipping
I haven’t gotten a copy yet to review, but since I’ve got nothing better to do in this hotel room while the rest of my family is asleep, I thought I’d note that Security Blankets: How Peanuts Touched Our Lives is now in stock and shipping. You can read few …
the central business of this blog
I must apologize, dear readers. Here it is, the sixth day of the month, and I’ve yet to do a post about print adaptations of A Charlie Brown Christmas. But come, let me address that now! My guide already had the 1977 book & record set issued by Charlie Brown …
“A book worth reading” and a special renamed
I’m not a Peanuts collector, I’m a Peanuts book collector. The difference is important, because there are far too many Peanuts things out there for me to be a general collector. I haven’t the money, the space, or frankly the inclination to be chasing after Christmas ornaments, toothbrush holders, or …
Easter Beagle, and an All-Stars triple play
I just picked up The Easter Beagle Egg Hunt, the new kids book. It’s a light-scale board book with plastic easter egg shapes that peak through the pages, plus one pop-up. The art adaptation is actually quite nice on this one. Six two-page spreads. Not a deeply meaningful or important …
An All-Star error
In the previous post, I listed the various specials in the upcoming collection of Peanuts specials from the 1960s, and noted that Charlie Brown’s All-Stars (among others) had not been on DVD before. As alert AAUGH Blog reader Dennis has pointed out, that’s not 100% true. In fact, it’s off …
If you re-collect the 1960s, you weren’t really there
With Woodstock-the-bird serving as the mascot for Woodstock-the-music-festival, the folks at Warners thought it was a good time for a release of a boxed set of the 1960s Peanuts specials. The bad news is that this overlaps with specials that were already released on DVD. The good news is that …
