This is a Peanuts appreciation thread. We've all read them, and (I hope) we all love them, so lets show the late Mr. Schulz a lil love.

I know this is less likely, but I also urge all of you Charlie Brown and Co. lovers out there to post your favorite strips from the series. Don't forget, this place has all the Peanuts comics ever printed, so if you're not familiar with the series or you want to find a funny one to post, just look there.

I'll also be taking a few of my favorite strips from that website and uploading them each day (if not each day, then every other day for sure).

I'll start:

278032zoom.gif



279879zoom.gif



Enjoy! I think you'll find Peanuts is a great stress reliever...whenever I can't sleep at night, I just read through some of my collection and soon all my worries just fade away.

    You ever try and draw Falcor as a giant dong? No? It just ends up looking like a long cyclops.

    I was going to be mad if this wasn't a Peanuts thread.

    a Penis thread would have also been acceptable.

    Charlie is one dumb motherfucker, let me tell you what.

    Also, Peanuts told me that women are often bitches for no real good reason.

    The old guard of the comic strip do absolutely deserve respect and study. But, these days they are no longer a source of humor, and they no longer spur discussion that is necessary.

    But good try.

    Seriously though, Peanuts is awful. Mingboggling so. Charles Shultz seems like a cool guy, though.

    I like early Peanuts. The later stuff doesn't seem funny to me.

    If we're talking about old comics, I think Little Nemo is interesting as shit. It just seems somewhat unsettling, like there's something going on behind the panels that we're not seeing.

    There was an early Peanuts strip that used to crack me up when I was a kid, I'll see if I can find it. I think it had Charlie Brown trying to get Snoopy to catch a ball or something, getting completely frustrated and Snoopy laughs at him at the end. It was the look on Snoopy's face that always got me.

    Would it be a lot of work for you to find one of these? Not that I don't believe you, or that it matters to me in some "moral outrage" way, I am just very curious.

    I've been trying really hard to find them but apparently there isn't a website with archives that go back that far, I found them in the first collection book which I highly recommend to everyone
    Yes, Calvin and Hobbes is probably more developed but Bill Watterson freely and frequently admits that half of what made his strip so great came directly from Peanuts (the other half being Pogo)
    Trey Parker and Matt Stone also are very open about how they took a lot of their humor from the strip

    Yeah. I don't really get it. It's never been funny.
    It's consistent... in that it's pretty universally never any good.
    Yet people love it. Curious.

    Then again people at large seem to like a lot of complete bullshit, so I guess its the norm.
