The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0DDNPKJ2Z\/?tag=aaugh-20\"><strong>Snoopy<\/strong> volume<\/a> uses Snoopy images from just about anywhere: strips (appropriately licensed), animation, photos,\u00a0<em>The Peanuts Movie<\/em> publicity materials.<\/p>\n<p>And the simple facts it offers are right. But it manage to invoke my editorially ire with the second sentence.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Snoopy first\u00a0<strong>debuted<\/strong> in the\u00a0<em>Peanuts<\/em> comic strip on October 4, 1950.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The bolding is theirs. It&#8217;s to let you know that\u00a0<em>debuted<\/em> is one of just five terms that appears in the book&#8217;s glossary, where it is defined as &#8220;presented to an audience for the first time.&#8221; That&#8217;s an accurate definition&#8230; which just shows you that what that sentence said is when he was first first presented. Dadgummit, when I&#8217;m paying 14 cents per word for a book, I want them to be the right words, not monstrosities of the language. I want 14 cents back.<\/p>\n<p>Other than that, while it&#8217;s a relatively smooth version of what it is, it&#8217;s ridiculously overpriced for end consumer purchase, and not something I recommend for anything but the most excessive collector. If you want an excuse for not counting it as a Peanuts book, note that while images on a few pages are licensed from Peanuts Worldwide, the book on the whole is not a licensed item.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SnoopyABDObio.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7334\" src=\"http:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SnoopyABDObio-300x248.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SnoopyABDObio-300x248.jpg 300w, https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SnoopyABDObio-1024x847.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SnoopyABDObio-768x635.jpg 768w, https:\/\/aaugh.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/SnoopyABDObio.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Abdo Kids : Classic Cartoon Character Bios books are blatant stuff-to-fill-school-libraries material.
