The board book Letters to the Great Pumpkin is fairly straightforward on its goals. Linus decides that a letter-writing campaign is just the thing to get that legendary gourd to appear in his pumpkin patch, and various Peanuts characters each write a letter to the Great Pumpkin that reflects their personality …

Thursday was all about the San Diego Comic-Con for me… woke up at 4 AM, drove down to Anaheim, caught the first train from there to San Diego, walked from the train station to the convention center, spent most of my time there walking around the convention center, then walked …

I’ve finally got the line-up of things that will be at the Peanuts shop at Comic-Con… but before I get to that, let me note that my Comic-Con plans have changed, and I will now be there only on Thursday. If anyone wants to mee with me, it can probably be …

The famous San Diego Comic-Con is just a couple weeks away, and if you were hoping to go but don’t have tickets yet, well, you’re far too late. These sell out months in advance. (But if you happen to be in San Diego during this time, keep reading, there’s some …

We just purchased a (used) display case, so it finally became time to put together the set of Japanese Snoopy’s Book Cafe miniatures that I’d purchased a couple years back.

First, let me note that the Great Pumpkin Carols book which I talked about a while back is now available for preorder. And while I’m doing that, I’ll remind you both that when you preorder, Amazon will give you the lowest price they list the book for between now and when …

I just picked up a copy of The World According to Snoopy, which was released in the UK late last year. This hardcover book, with its cover akin to a 1970s textbook, falls into the “inspirational messages” category. It’s pages are a mix of single-page displays of individual Peanuts strips (always …

I got interviewed about Peanuts on the WHI Podcast, which is normally a political podcast… which is why, perhaps, we end up talking about the polarization of the nation, now and in the past, within the context of the popularity of the Peanuts strip. Watch and see why I should …
