In-class exercise 3(?): thank-you note

Dear Charles M. Schulz,

Thanks for Peanuts, Sparky.

Thanks for Charlie Brown, who never wins and never gives up trying. Thanks for Snoopy, who never loses if only in his own mind.

Thanks for not caving when readers wrote in offended at the presumption of putting Bible quotations in a comic strip. Thanks for simple art and complex thought.

Thanks for inspiring Vince Guaraldi.

Thanks for "security blanket".

Thanks for rampant unrequited crushes and sibling rivalry. Thanks for five-cent psychiatry and the pun on "dogfight". Thanks for Beethoven, the kite-eating tree, and sincere pumpkin patches.

Thanks for happiness.

Paul

Thank you Charles Schulz for helping me realize that happiness is both a sad song and a warm puppy.

Hear hear!

I caught the very end of "It's a Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown," this morning. Perhaps the last of the pitch perfect Peanuts specials, it was pretty awesome.
