The Art and Making of ‘The Peanuts Movie’ [Review]
I’d like to think there’s a Peanut living inside all of us. That’s right, a Peanut. Not the salty food variety, but the Charles Schulz kind. Whether it’s the dogged determination of Charlie Brown, the bossiness of Lucy, the hip swagger of Franklin, the artistry of Schroeder or the vast imagination of Snoopy—just about anyone […]

It should come as no surprise that when the creative crew here at Strange Kids Club aren’t hard at work scouring the dark corners of nostalgia, they’re often working just as hard on projects of their own. These passion projects can take the form of their own blog, comic book series, video game or, in […]

by Rondal 2 Comments
I’m sure that many who haunt these clubhouse walls can fondly recall those weekly trips to the video store. Overrun with titles of all shapes (okay, they were all rectangular) and sizes (…yeah, they were pretty much all the same size), those store shelves were a cornucopia of ocular splendor meant to dazzle and delight […]
