Cursive Peanuts
Peppermint Patty snores in cursive.
Bacon and Peanuts
Sally on Francis Bacon.
Intertextuality
Peanuts in Hi and Lois, Nancy in Zippy.
“Almost, at times, the Fool”
Synchronicity across the comics.
Linus’s whom
Linus corrects Sally.
Snoopy, downstairs
I always like seeing a Peanuts strip that references some once-obvious, now-gone bit of popular culture.
Valentine’s Day
Snoopy and Woodstock.
Sally’s collectibles
Bicentennial merchandise.
Charles Schulz centennial
Comic strips have taken notice.
“”Think metric!”
Yesterday’s Peanuts truly is today’s Peanuts. Still no metric system here.
Peanuts selfhood
I followed as best I could the guidance in “How to draw yourself as a Peanuts character.”
“Disobvious”
Peanuts and prefixes.
Mutts and Peanuts
Today’s Mutts is a nice homage.
Meta doghouse
Schulz showed the reader a meta doghouse, or guest cottage, a two-dimensional form rendered in three dimensions.
Hank Aaron and Peanuts
For two weeks in August 1973, Peanuts devoted its daily (non-Sunday) strip to Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, and Snoopy.
Mooch Brown, Earl van Pelt
Mutts channels Peanuts.
Peanuts in French
A crossword clue — three letters, “Parisian’s ‘Rats!’” — made me wonder what Charlie Brown says in French. And now I know.
Neat’s-foot madeleine
And Charlie Brown’s baseball glove.
“Rats!”
The Great Pumpkin and Psalms.
*SIGH*
Today’s Peanuts makes me want to pop some corn and take out my stamp collection. Wait — what stamp collection?
Nancy vs. Lucy
Olivia Jaimes: “I feel like Lucy wakes up some mornings and thinks ‘What’s the point?’ Nancy thinks that too, but then she remembers that bread exists.”
Peanuts and D-Day
Links to ten strips.
June 6
D-Day, Snoopy.
Sally couldn’t care less
Sally Brown knows her usage.
“The warm sun favors the earth”
Sounds like Linus is quoting something.
Johnny Horizon
I like it when a comic strip turns into a time capsule. Who was Johnny Horizon?
Peanuts chute
Sending a letter? There must be a chute.
Decorate, diagram
Does anyone still diagram sentences Reed-Kellogg style?
Lucy’s whom
Lucy has asked Charlie Brown, “Which is correct, ‘Who are we kidding?’ or ‘Whom are we kidding?’”
Colorizing old strips
One problem with colorizing old strips: art may lose the power of suggestion.
