> Both Jonnie Hart and Charles Shultz are (were) deeply religious Christians, and both put religious messages, and sometimes explicitly Christian messages in their comic strips. In spite of that similarity, I’ve never felt alienated or slapped in the face when I read Peanuts, the way I sometimes do when I read B.C. Thank you, Charles Schultz. You’ll be missed.

Amen to that. I remember one of the longer strips, panel after panel, which consisted primarily of one of their baseball games coming to a grinding halt as Charlie Brown’s entire team congregates around the pitcher’s mound to have an argument about Job. “Some managers have baseball teams. I’ve got a theological seminary.”

I had several collections of strips from the Peanuts era before its quality nose-dived, and I can still kick myself for not hanging on to them when I moved away from home.
