Mr. Potato Head is a new calendar for 2006, and it has a lot to recommend it for youngsters and adults, too. To begin with, the shape of this calendar is a different being altogether. Its a potato shape when first opened. Then there is a Potato Head to dress and decorate each and every month. Included is a set of assorted apendages and costume that are stickers so that you can dress Mr. Potato Head differently every month. The publisher calls this "One hot potato!"

Suggested Retail Price: $12.99 or as low as $10.39 from Amazon.com!



I have finally grown up! The only comics I still read every day are the great reruns of "Peanuts." Every one of Charles Schultz's great strips is still delightful and the simple, sweet humor never ages. Here you get 16-months of large and bright one panel artwork by the man who is not dead to his fans. There is Snoopy the warm puppy and Lucy the ever-sardonic street corner psychologist who's always willing to give you the benefit of her wisdom... if you have a nickel. Charlie Brown and his many friends never bore me and I delight in having all of the gang from this classic strip on my wall every year.

Now we are talking! Rocky the Flying Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose are both from Frostbite Falls, Minnesota. Rocky and Bullwinkle are still among the best animated series you could possibly watch. Rocky says, "Hokey Smoke," and I am his forever. I still love Natasha Fatale's deep sultry voice and Boris Badenov's fiendish plans. They are all here to be enjoyed all year long by those folks with a good sense of humor. You get a big, bright and wonderful picture for each month. My kind of heroes!

This is a devoted Disney fan's delight. These posters come from as far back as 1928. They are faithful reproductions. Posters are a collectible that many folks enjoy. Disney has given us so many happy memories, but the posters for the early cartoons show exceptionally beloved characters, films.

by Edward Gorey

Pomegranate Communications
Wall Calendar
ISBN# 0-7649-3085-0
Suggested Retail Price: $13.99 or as low as $9.05 from Amazon.com!



From "A is for Amy who fell down the stairs," all the way through the alphabet, more tragedies appear . This is the Gorey way and I always love to read everything by this strange, talented man.

This is a cautionary alphabet that will instill some prudence in the young. They will learn that they should not resort to under-carpet crawling and to avoid dangerous objects. It's a dark, and a delightful calendar for 2006.

Wall Calendar
ISBN# 1-59490-107-4
Suggested Retail Price: $12.95 or as low as $8.67 from Amazon.com!



Spend another year with the slightly nauseating artwork from the pages of Mad magazine. For MAD freaks, this calendar will bring on a great year of reading passages from a favorite publication that has hit homeruns in satire for many years now. Mad can take apart every current event and bring out the idiotic side of the newest fads. I especially like the month that features "The Differences between Hogwarts & Your School" Mad fans will love this calendar!

by Mike Dowell, Pat Welch

Just like the mini-calendar of the same name only larger, you can enjoy these old ladies in full size for 16 months. Each of the stylized biddies is doing her own thing. I love the Globe-Trotting Biddy. She is wearing flip-flops and bright beach wear. Later on, she is riding a skateboard or putting on her makeup. Biddys Across America is one of my favorite months for 2006. This comic artwork is a big seller and its no wonder.
