"KAWS is an internationally recognized artist who regularly exhibits in museums and galleries throughout the world. this UT collection features KAWS's unique rendition of the beloved comic strip “Peanuts.” Snoopy and other Peanuts favorites are presented in a bold graphical style with a sophisticated humor."
are the xs for eyes what makes his rendition unique or are they his sophisticated humor?

He had a perfectly legitimate character named Patty and then suddenly he introduces a character called Peppermint Patty and just lets the original Patty die out. What kind of cartoonist does that?

Talk of Peanuts on another thread reminded me that over Christmas I visited the Schulz exhibition at Somerset House in London - highest possible recommendation for anyone with an interest in or love for the comic strip. So many originals all in one place, many of them absolutely key strips, as well as a ton of great memorabilia, personal correspondence, magazine covers, adverts etc etc - a lot to take in! They were totally cool about ppl taking pictures too, which was nice - here's a few panels I couldn't resist:

the exhibition was glorious. but how expensive were those t shirts???
― Bênoit Balls (stevie), Thursday, 10 January 2019 20:31 (five years ago) link
EVERYTHING at Somerset House was expensive, including all of the merchandising. I sprang for the catalogue and some postcards. I thought that almost without exception, all the modern art pieces were terrible, and unnecessary. They had things like Spiegelman's Schulz strip - wow - and the odd strip by other cartoonists, but I would've like to have had more of the COMIC response to Peanuts - things like the Mad parodies, for example. But that's a small gripe set against the once in a lifetime chance to see so many originals up close and personal - I'm guessing they will be back in the museum after March, when the exhibition closes.
― Ward Fowler, Thursday, 10 January 2019 20:47 (five years ago) link
I received the recent Dell Archives book (a collection of the early Dell comic book series) as a xmas gift which, while providing a decent + fun alternate perspective on the Peanuts world, unfortunately contains way way less original Schulz material than I'd been led to believe. But I guess on the plus side for those unaware of its existence, there's some Schulz stuff now available that you might not have seen before.

God yes. I got a badge. My 4yo got a Peanuts pen, and a massive temper tantrum on the floor of the gift shop because we wouldn't also let her get something else. I looked about the shop and several similar tantrums were also occurring with other people's children around us.
Th tee shirts were lovely. But... £40!!

i mean, as great as peanuts was, the anti-peanuts brigade back in the day at least had _some_ valid arguments. it's the difference between arguing "comics should be less like 'peanuts' and more like 'the spirit'" and arguing "comics needs less olivia jaimes and more garret gilchrist"
