Costco does have a new product this year &#8211; a boxed set named\u00a0<strong>Peanuts by the Decade<\/strong>, which has the first three volumes of\u00a0<em>The Big Book of Peanuts<\/em> series, in paperback for the first time. So for $49.99, you get all the daily strips from 1950 through 1979, that&#8217;s over 9000 strips, for a fraction of a cent apiece. (But then you&#8217;ll want the last two decades. Dare we hope that next year brings a boxed set with the 1980s volume and the previously unavailable 1990s?)<\/p>\n<p>Costco is only offering this set at their warehouses; it is not available from them online.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PeanutsByTheDecade.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6179\" src=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PeanutsByTheDecade.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"281\" height=\"345\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PeanutsByTheDecade.jpg 281w, https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/PeanutsByTheDecade-244x300.jpg 244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 281px) 100vw, 281px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some holidays have questions attached.
