Counting down the days to counting up the days
So of course, on the day after I post that the Schulz calendar is coming but is not yet available for preorder, the calendar becomes available for preorder.
Schulz’s non-Peanuts days
I expect that 2010 will be represented by the usual number of Peanuts calendars… but in what I think will be a first, it will also be represented by a non-Peanuts Schulz calendar. It’s not up at Amazon yet, but here at the Barbour Books site, you can see that …
The Doctor is In
Coming in April is The Doctor Is IN: The Peanuts Psychiatric Help Kit. It’s got a 64 page book of psychiatric strips, plus a can to collect your nickel charges in.
An old book in a new, unlikely format
Peanuts: The Art of Charles M. Schulz, that lovely Chip Kidd compiled art book is now available… ..in an edition for the Kindle, Amazon’s eBook. Now, I know some images are possible on the Kindle. Heck, I’m the guy who published Schulz’s Youth on the Kindle. But it’s one thing …
Complete Peanuts 1971-1972 now shipping
I meant to have a review up before this happened, but the combination of a sick 4 year old, a sick self, and hammering deadlines meant the review did not happen (yet). But you don’t need a review, do you? It’s two full years of Peanuts. So order The Complete …
Belate my Valentine, Charlie Brown
If you’re planning for Valentine’s Day at this point, you’re either running a mite late, or you’re in the book business. Which is my way of saying that Running Press is doing a new adaptation of Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown for next year.
Peanuts vinyl collectible dolls
This ain’t the kind of thing that I buy (being the intersection of “ain’t cheap” and “ain’t books”) but I liked seeing this line of vinyl collectible dolls, in part because they give us an early version of Snoopy, and in part because they give us an attempt at Pig-Pen. …
The dreaded missing “not”
Ever type an email or a message board post and make a strong statement, but accidentally leave the word “not” out of it? I’ve got that down to about once every three years now. Did that in the last message. On the DVD, they didn’t have me saying anything I …
talking on DVD
Yesterday, I got interviewed for featurettes for two upcoming Peanuts animated DVDs. That’s kind of odd for me in itself. After writing a bunch of books and talking at conventions and doing occasional other interviews, you’d think I’d be kind of used to people thinking I say things well enough …
Security Blankets – the book!
Here’s a book that I knew was in the works for a while, but which I missed that it was actually on the schedule. Security Blankets: How Peanuts Touched Our Lives takes a look at the impact that Peanuts has had on its fans. It’s put together by Derrick Bang …
