Came across this in my book last night. I had to stop and reflect on it for a while ... http://tinyurl.com/6up5y8d

It almost reads like one of these...

Yeah, most new comics are neither funny nor insightful. The only strip that came close to Peanuts in terms of power was Calvin and Hobbes. In fact, many early Peanuts strips feature snowman jokes that would be right at home in a C&H strip. It just really gets me when you see these strips from the "funny" papers with no joke, no laughter and just plain sadness. Schulz really stretched the artform and brought it places it hasn't been since.

Yeah Peanuts was great. Used to have a few of those old paperbacks with some of the strips in them.
