'The Cautionary Tale of Numero Cinco'
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 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 figured TV exposure like A Charlie Brown Christmas and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, were enough.
I liked the movie that Charlie Brown was in the spelling bee, though.I don't remember that one. I think I'm a snob about which Charlie Brown TV movies I accept as canon.

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.

I totally want a huge Bloom County box set like the Calvin set.

Oh, absolutely.
Billy and the Boingers 4evah!
We certainly could have used Bill and Opus in '04.
I'm collecting the Complete Peanuts volumes, and I now wonder if when I was younger I identified with Charlie Brown too much; it reinforced the idea that life was going to give me rocks and there was nothing I could do to change it.
