have been able to do what I love for almost 50 years."

Charles M. Schulz announced today that he will retire on January 4, 2000;
one day after the final 'Peanuts' strip runs.

the difference is that 'the far side' and 'calvin & hobbes' were funny
while 'the peanuts' comic strip wasn't.  it was the same thing over & over
& over & over & over...

however, i did like the cartoons.

My first musical role was Chuck Brown in You're a Good Man, CB.
And frankly, it was written way too damn high!
Peanuts had its moments of poignancy, but you can only revisit
the angst of the baseball game so many times... unless you're a 
Braves fan. ;)
