Buffy ,'Potential'
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."
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.
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.
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)
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.

Awww, c'mon that's one of the few theatrically released movies that's good. Don't you remember the word he misspelled?
JZ and I caught Snoopy Come Home on TiVo and she was getting all caught up in it and knew the songs.
Don't you remember the word he misspelled?
I do!

Was it Snoopy Come Home, or another? I don't remember the spelling bee, which doesn't mean I didn't see the film; I just can't remember it.
Was Peanuts supposed to be funny? Sometimes it was (at least to me, age 5), but it was just as often sad or profound.
Calvin and Hobbes is brilliant, but doesn't really lend itself to categorizing people...unless there really are only two kinds of people in this world.
But if we're talking 80s, then...I call Binkley! With a dash of Milo.
