well, i didn't mean that as a putdown of the snoopy and woodstock strips (which are quite a bit better than ppl remember them being), i just wanted to point out that ppl who paint peanuts as being all gloom n'doom and "l'il neurotic" jokes are ignoring about three-fifths of it!

i also think the only thing really wrong with '70s peanuts is that it isn't '60s peanuts - i.e. still better than all but a handful of all other strips ever. the sunday page where charlie brown is sitting on a bench reminiscing about the times he used to sit and watch the little red-haired girl (who has apparently moved away; one of the very few times peanuts acknowledged the passing of time) is possibly the most moving thing schulz ever drew.
