It ain’t peanut butter and jelly…
It’s Peanuts Jam! I’m not absolutely positive what this Japanese item is, but just looking at it I suspect that it’s a radio that the unconnected Peanuts figures automatically bop along to the music. I’m not into buying too many Peanuts things that aren’t books, but this one does look …
A Bird’s Eye Review
Woodstock: A Bird’s Eye View is a 96-page book collecting 160-some strips featuring Woodstock. Of course, where you find Woodstock, you almost always find Snoopy, so there’s plenty of ol’ banana-nose for his fans, and very little of the other characters. The book is generally the same format as other …
Review: Peanuts Guide to Life
Thew new hardcover Peanuts Guide to Life is not a strip collection, although it has a handful of complete strips in it. Rather, it is mostly a collection of Peanuts dialog, selected for its insight (or appearance of same), with a panel’s worth of art facing each quote. As such, …

British recycling
The folks at Ravette are planning more recycled volumes for later this year. August brings two more of the Snoopy 2-in-1 collections, which each reprint two of the Snoopy Stars/Snoopy Features volumes. However, I don’t yet know which titles these two reprint. They’re also offering up a UK edition of …
Joe Cool covers silence
Here’s a first look at the cover of It Goes Without Saying, October’s collection of silent Peanuts strips. I find it amusing that the main image for a book focusing on the lack of words shows a character with words on his shirt. But then, I think it’s odd that …
Puttering around
It’s Par for the Course, Charlie Brown collects golf-related strips from across the entire run of Peanuts. It’s not a complete collection, nor does it claim to be, but it certainly covers the major golf eras of the strip. In fact, reading this forced me to realize how golf came …
