Hec, when you're done with Misfortune, let me know what you think of it.
Well, even just starting to read it I think you would love it, Jilli. It's your kind of world.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I know enough about the Peanuts gang to say I'm a Lucy...but I don't think there's a Pooh-verse analog that fits me.
That book sounds interesting, Hec. I might have to give it a whirl.

Hec, is Wesley Stace also John Wesley Harding?
I have a vague memory of something of the sort.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
sumi, yep. He sings (as John Wesley Harding) in the group that I mentioned (the Love Hall Tryst) on the companion CD.

What is even happening?
I don't know enough Peanuts to really parse this conversation, I'm afraid.
First Pooh, now Peanuts? Sheeesh, poor Gris. Were you raised under a rock?

Yep. [link] The whole group is John Wesley Harding, Kelly Hogan, Nora O'Connor, and Brian Lohmann.

Hey. New board.
Sheeesh, poor Gris. Were you raised under a rock?
I was raised in the 80s. By the time I was looking at comic strips, Peanuts was WELL past its peak. Calvin and Hobbes was my love.
I liked the movie that Charlie Brown was in the spelling bee, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Gris, I was raised in the 80s too. And the Peanuts talk made me click around in Wikipedia to refresh my memory, and I was surprised by how much I'd been exposed to the characters. I don't really like the strip much because it's not that funny and it spoiled Citizen Kane for me, but it's so much of a cultural thing.

move out and draw fire
it spoiled Citizen Kane for me
Heh. I remember reading that strip when I was like 4, and totally not getting it. But the spoilage for Citizen Kane is so pervasive I can't blame Peanuts.
(And being raised in the 80s doesn't excuse the lack of Pooh)
