"Did it work, Reed?"
"It's Spider-Man, Sue. Of course it did. Now, on with the Gilmore Girls marathon!"

Yeah, Spike is Snoopy's brother, and eventually he spent all of his time talking to cacti and watching cars drive by in the desert.

Oh, and it's the least I can do...

And then one, two, skip a few...

See this is funny because I remember Linus had the patience of a sainted philosopher king so him losing his poo poo was hilarious.
On the other hand this is depressing too because we've all been Charlie Brown and his thought process here is a reflection of who we are and who we could be if we weren't.

AND THAT IS WHY IT IS A BETRAYAL.

PEANUTS IS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT CRIPPLING ANXIETY AND SELF-PITY AND A FORM OF SELF-LOVE THAT MARKS YOU AS A DELUSIONAL! AND THE GOLDEN AGE OF FREAKING THE gently caress OUT OVER EVERYTHING! You know, except for kids! So, hilarious!

Sorry that the narrative demands of a 90-minute mainstream animated feature are completely incompatible with a comic strip's ability to retread the same five seconds of misery ad infinitum. If this post seems needlessly cruel, try reading it once per day for the next few decades; I'm sure you'll grow to love it

EasyEW: Mar 8, 2006; I've got my father's great big six-shooter with me 'n' if anybody in this woods wants to start somethin' just let 'em--but they DASSN'T.

Yeah, I should've know that was a mistake. Anyway, here's Peanuts: Year Five. (September 19-21, 1955)

And the thing I forgot I was forgetting, Bloom County.

I apologize for my lovely post. Right now I have a chest cold that makes me want to die and I've morphed into a real mucus-filled son of a bitch.

Is the angle that Les is in looooove with Pru? And either doesn't know or doesn't care that she's a lesbian? Or can he just not bear the thought of trying to buy a gift for a couple of dickblisters like Ox and TJ?

The Amazing Spider-Man

I don't know how much help he'll be, MJ, since he's clearly just downed a fistful of ludes.

Sally Forth

Heavy anecdote about the frailty of parents ahead:

My mom passed away this year and Dad got super depressed and quit eating, ending up in the hospital as a result. I was there every night just begging him to eat and I'd leave there in a mess of tears every time because he just couldn't, or wouldn't. And then I was at work one day talking to a monk (Buddhist) and I kind of poured my heart out to her. She told me to stop pushing my dad like that. That he might eat, or might not, but that's his choice. And he might die, or he might not, but if he is going to die I won't want to look back and see that I'd spent the last little bit of time we had together haranguing him. I realized she was right and I took it to heart. Dad still doesn't eat nearly enough, but our visits have been much more pleasant since then. More about sharing time together rather than pushing him to do things he's not able to right now. [/EN]

This is all to say I get Ted's impulse to push.

And now that I've made myself cry again, let's get back to what's really important: watching this suave-rear end mustache motherfucker attempt to seduce our Julie:

Remember that he's a pointlessly evil embezzler; he has the only slip that doesn't have his own name.

Ox's remark makes me think he drew TJ's name. Then again, Ox is an idiot.

I'm watching the Peanuts movie and it's way more charming than it has any right to be. Charlie Brown is trying to improve himself to impress the little red head girl gosh darn it instead of just wallowing in self-pity and anxiety and crippling, disabling depression and I didn't expect that.

Piggybacking on this, Charlie Brown had a lot of problems in other movies and he worked thru them. He didn't always win, but he still did his best and worked hard.

The very first movie, "A Boy Named Charlie Brown", had a musical number insulting him. So he tried to prove himself in a spelling bee. He won the school spelling bee but lost at the national spelling bee. So he spent the day after at home in his bed.

Then Linus gave him a pep-talk and Charlie got out of bed to live life again. After all, in the words of Linus, "The world didn't come to an end."
