# I don't blame him
I was getting pretty excited when I made it.


Edit: Oh, me too, especially the earlier ones -- up to about 1966 or so, about the time Snoopy started flying. I enjoyed those ones but there was a certain charm in it when Snoopy was still a normal dog and Linus was but a baby. Have you seen the reissues of the Complete Peanuts? They're lovely books, beautifully done. Well worth it, actually.

Yeah, I liked it up until woodstock. As an older person now, I can imagine that the bird was added to keep the brand fresh and hip.

I will check that out, thanks!

I'd have linked to the UK Amazon but the US one has more previews. They're actually very nice editions. Well recommended.

No Pan, flames, magenta cocks or apocalypse though :(

# Not until you've scanned and photoshopped them, anyway ;)

# Hmmm, now *that* would be an ambitious project
Photoshopping a mixture of Pan and Zalgo-inspired apocalypse onto every single Peanuts cartoon ever drawn...

# Bet you never thought that would be your life's work

# Not at all
but if they'd told me that I'd have been a lot more enthusiastic about the whole thing.

"So, Mr Spider. In your career you might expect to be an accountant, or an actuary, or you might expect to photoshop every existing Peanuts comic into a grotesque apocalyptic sequence replete with bum-rape and Pan."

"Hot damn!"

# Heh heh
and who cares about the pay or pension scheme with a job like that.

# Exactly!
The pay will look after itself. Or it will until Schultz's estate come after me -- but they'll have to find me first... :)

# I need to buy them for myself first
I keep buying them for my Mum as birthday and Christmas presents. Now I need to buy my own. Then I can move onto other people. :)
