Because Itty rhymes with Bitty, you see.
So I got my itty bittys Peanuts Easter Beagle Stuffed Animal and Storybook Set from Hallmark. And yes, as you see here, the itty bittys tag does keep Snoopy’s arm (well, leg… well, no, itty bittys don’t have legs) propped up. The storybook is an adaptation of the TV special… but it’s …
This will be an American Christmas! Santa will drive on the right!
Coming this fall is The Peanuts Guide to Christmas. Is this just a US edition of the book with the same name released in the UK in 2015? Given that it’s listed as 80 pages, the same length as that UK version, it seems likely… and that may mean that we’ll …
Dog Lips coming at you!
Here’s the cover for Snoopy: What’s Wrong with Dog Lips?, a new collection of old strips coming at you in October!
I’m Glad I Got A Letter From Me!
The fine folks at Escape Pod Comics in Huntington, New York got in a load of Hallmark minibooks, and among them was a copy of A Letter From Me, which was a hole in the AAUGH.com Reference Library. It’s a cute little storybook. Charlie Brown is trying to write a letter, …
Fantagraphics covers
We now have the covers for this fall’s Peanuts releases from Fantagraphics – although Fantagraphics often reworks their covers in the months leading to release. Peanuts Every Sunday 1971-1975 collects five years of Sunday strips in a glorious, large format. The Complete Peanuts: 1965-1966 is the 8th volume in its paperback …
Brick-lovin’ Peanuts fans rejoice!
AAUGHfriend Torsten covered the recent Toy Fair, including a large line of Peanuts pseudoLegos! Go read! While wandering every aisle of ToyFair, I spied this display: What the…?! Peanuts?! Construction sets? At first, I thought it might be counterfeit, as the box design and quality was a bit ch… Source: Toy …

Here come the Hallmark books
I don’t have my copies of these yet, but that’s no reason to not let you know that they exist!
The Peanuts Game
Back when I was working on Complete Peanuts 26, an eBay listing like this would lead me to fret. Sure, it’s clearly not lettered by Schulz, that’s visible even at this low resolution, but what if they had him draw a strip special for them and then change the dialogue? There …
You knew it had to be coming
This will be a year. A real year. The kind of year when we don’t just have a new book edition of A Charlie Brown Christmas, but it’s actually going to be a completely new adaptation! This one’s going to be a “deluxe edition”, a cloth-covered hardcover with foil highlights. The adaptation is …
