Shermy looks a bit like bob stoops.

Look for David Michaelis' excellent book titled "Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography. It's an outstanding read, painstakingly researched, & you really discover where so much of the pain & dark humor that filled Charles Schulz's work over the decades came from.

This is ripe for a slight reworking in MS Paint for Bob Stoops hating on Mack Brown.

Peanuts = greatness.

I was reading the Wiki article about the little red-haired girl:

The Link


Donna Johnson, the inspiration for the red-haired girl, dated Charles Schultz for three years. He proposed to her, she turned him down, and abruptly married a fireman. She married the fireman about one month after this first Peanuts strip appeared.

Don't get me wrong: firemen are great. But Charles Schulz went on to become worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Wonder if she'd take a "do over" if she could.

I wonder when the jagged stripe on Charlie's shirt got added.

We never find out if Charles grows up to nail Lucy.

When it comes to Peanuts, all I want is what's coming to me. All I want is my fair share.
