Okay, only a brief newsletter this time, but I just
\nhad to spread the word. After various clues and hints,
\nJeannie Schulz (widow of Charles M. Schulz) has now
\npublicly stated that they are working toward a set of
\nbooks that would reprint all of the Peanuts newspaper
\nstrips!<\/p>\n
Now don’t get too excited: this is not a formal
\nannouncement, so while it’s something that they’re
\nworking on, it doesn’t mean it will definitely happen.
\nNo publisher was announced, nor was any date hinted at,
\nand Mrs. Schulz even pointed out that they’re having
\ntrouble finding reproducable copies of some of the
\nstrips.<\/p>\n
When I can scare up more information, I will of course
\nshare it with you.

\nCHEAPER CHRISTMAS<\/p>\n
As I type this, you can get the new strip colleciton
\nA PEANUTS CHRISTMAS for 40% off the cover price. I’m
\nnot sure how long this will last, so if you’ve been
\nthinking about ordering this, now is the time:

\nSADLY SELF-SERVING SECTION<\/p>\n
Yes, if you click through any link on http:\/\/AAUGH.com to
\nthe Amazon pages and order anything, AAUGH.com gets
\nsome money. No, it doesn’t increase how much you pay,
\nand yes, it does help support the site and newsletter.<\/p>\n
Those of you who haven’t taken advantage of online
\ngift shopping for the holidays — it really is handy.
\nYou can order something, have it gift wrapped, and
\nhave it sent to the recipient with a few minutes work,
\navoiding the shopping crush and the mailing hassle.
\nAnd with the free shipping deals, discount prices, and
\n(in many states) lack of sales tax, you can often have
\na gift-wrapped item delivered for less than it costs to
\nbuy the item yourself, much less wrap, box, and ship it.

\nDRABBLE AT THE SCHULZ MUSEUM<\/p>\n
Kevin Fagan, cartoonist of the syndicated strip Drabble,
\nwill be at the Schulz museum this Saturday, giving a
\nchalk talk at 1 PM and doing a book signing at 2 PM.
