Welcome to 2021
On Christmas, my kids gave me this daily-updatable Peanuts calendar figure – Charlie Brown with a book, how appropriate for me. And this morning I was tempt to set it to DECEMBER 32, just to make it look like the troublesome year that we just went through was going …
Officially unofficial
I just stumbled across as link to AAUGH.com referring to it as “the official Peanuts website.” Boy, no. I doubt any of the regular readers are harboring that illusion, but in case you are: this site is independently owned and operated. It does not operate under the control, approval, or …
Mr. Head-round und the hound
The AAUGH.com Reference Library has been improved with the addition of Charlie Brown und Snoopy, which is a 1970 German translation of World Publishing’s 1968 adaptation of the 1968 TV special “He’s Your Dog, Charlie Brown”. This is an example of something that I’ve seen very few examples of: foreign language …
Popup Markdown!
I’m not sure how long this will last, but at the moment Amazon has the lovely A Charlie Brown Christmas Pop-up Edition for $14.99, half off the cover price. So if you didn’t get it under your tree, here’s your chance!
Cover reveal: When Snoopy Met Woodstock
So we’ve got the cover to next summer’s storybook, When Snoopy Met Woodstock. And, unsurprisingly for a book that’s a tie in to the upcoming Apple TV+ series The Snoopy Show, it has an animated look to it. I’m curious about this one, and whether they’ll embrace the material from the …

Happy Beethoven’s Birthday! My gift to you on this festive day: this blatantly unlicensed ad from a 1970 issue of The Voice, a Catholic weekly serving the Miami area.
Scotland Bound, Charlie Brown is now available for pre-order!
The Peanuts graphic novel adapting the unproduced TV special that I announced a while back can now be preordered! Yup, it’s Scotland Bound, Charlie Brown, and perhaps it’s just the thing for some Peanuts lover or Scotland lover on your gift list – and by giving them a notice that …
“Will Ye No Quarterback Again, Charlie Brown?”
I think it’s great that Boom! is publishing a graphic novel adapting the never-produced Scotland Bound, Charlie Brown. This serves the world even better than the adaptations of things like Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown, because that’s available to be viewed in its purest intended form, the film, which can …
Costco Pop-up available
Just a quick note that, unlike some Costco Peanuts books, the slipcased edition of this year’s A Charlie Brown Christmas pop-up book is available for mail order. You still have to be a Costco member, but it’s $24.99 including shipping, a good price.
Peanuts meet Mariah
If you got Apple TV+ so that you can watch Snoopy in Space, make sure you also play Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special. About 10.5 minutes in, Woodstock joins Mariah to watch some TV… on which they wash some new Peanuts Christmas-and-skating material. Then Mariah sings a bit of “Christmastime …
