I never really liked Peanuts comics. Every time I say that everybody wants to kill me because for some reason everybody is supposed to like Panuts. But I know deep inside nobody really likes those comics, vue everyboy is afraid fo confess it in public.
Hm. I liked it; it seems the creator of this comic has some real affection for The Peanuts. He really captured the feel. The Peanuts always was cruel and bleak (which is why I always marvel that is was popular.) This seemed somehow a natural extension of that (though I'm sure Schultz would have hated it!)
The cruel and bleak part was part of what made Peanuts Peanuts back in the early days. When Schulz was interviewed he said that he wanted to capture the cruelty that children show each other. Later he softened the message and lost a lot of his edge.
"It is the difference between the unknown and the unknowable, between science and fantasy - it is a matter of essence. The four points of the compass be logic, knowledge, wisdom and the unknown. Some do bow in that final direction. Others advance upon it. To bow before the one is to lose sight of the three. I may submit to the unknown, but never to the unknowable. The man who bows in that final direction is either a saint or a fool. I have no use for either."
It also brings to mind, "Bring Me the Head of Charlie Brown", which I posted a link to somewhere...

Well, the episodes of Robot Chicken on Cartoon Network's Adult swim are re-running now (next Sunday will probalby be ep 2, Charlie Brown one was in ep 6), but you can find Torrents of the Episodes around on the net. Google for "Robot Chicken .tor" and you'll find a couple of places that you can download torent files (for bittorrent clients, if you have it)
You can also find it, most likely, in various P2P services.
