Witness the very first Peanuts comic that was first published back in 1950. Charles Schulz must have had incredible foresight to correctly predict how I would feel half a century later. Or perhaps he just knew how much good ol’ Charlie Brown, and the rest of Peanuts for that matter, would suck. Could it be that I am alone in my hatred? Doesn’t anyone else realize how horrible it is? How else could it have actually survived for 50 fuckin’ years? Wake up people. Peanuts is un-funny and boring at best. It makes Garfield look like Family Guy in comparison.
What’s even worse than the comic strips are those goddamn animated specials. It’s like the levels of boring and stupid are multiplied each time one of the characters opens their bitch mouths. Also, it doesn’t help that everyone talks like they suffer from severe brain damage. Wah whaaa wah wah wah… Fuck! They should have cast Helen Keller to do the voices.
Schulz has been rotting in the ground for years now, yet we’re still being exposed to all of his crap as the papers re-print old strips, and the networks re-run the wretched animated specials. Schulz, your crappy comic could never be as great as Calvin & Hobbes, or The Far Side. Both of which decided to bow out gracefully at the top of their game, long before becoming old and hackneyed. For Peanuts, that point was crossed right around strip #2.
Fear not however, for there is hope: Rehabilitating Mr. Wiggles
