Hec, is Wesley Stace also John Wesley Harding?
I have a vague memory of something of the sort.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

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."

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)

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My father collected the books, back in the day, so I know the print version quite well. However, I just within the past few years saw the Christmas Special for the first time, and I still haven't seen any of the others (that I recall). I may be Sally, but mostly by default.

I make no excuses for that. Well, other than "My parents didn't read it to me." Not sure why - I got plenty of other books.
