Well, we weren’t so much let out as we escaped. For a while, both us were pretending to be lobbyists, but that didn’t work. It took ingenuity to be on the outside.

What do you know about the mascots and sweethearts.

Interesting take on comics…I usually focus on the words first, then go back and look at pictures. I have emotional problems!

I used to work in the Texas State Capitol. They let you in the Dungeon? Or more appropriately, They let you OUT of the Dungeon?

Sounds like fun. More fun than comic strips, which I can’t abide for some reason. I think it’s because you have to read, then look at pictures, then read, etc. Causes my brain to melt from having to use two different information pathways.

And that’s sad. Presuming you mean that once Schulz titillated and shocked. And I think he did, once upon a time.

It’s okay for artists to die and fade away. Not so okay to keep them alive for the sake of franchise. Or worse, because of fear.

Peanuts is actually the V.C. Andrews of the comic strip world, at least where Schulz is concerned.
