Maria PopovaPeanuts and the quiet pain of childhood – how Charles M. Schulz, born 100 years ago today, made an art of difficult emotions https://www.themarginalian.org/2015/01/20/charles-schulz-peanuts-biography-david-michaelis/
Norobiik @@mariapopova deeply loved Peanuts, it was one of the very few comic strips about children that was profound & avoided the saccharine, syrupy & shallow sweetness of the rest.
Darcy@mariapopova @neilhimself we had a set of those tiny bright-to-the-point-of-pain books as children. I read them so much they fell apart.
StargazerUSAStamps of the Peanuts gang were at the Post Office recently. @mariapopova 😂
Shenoa LawrenceThis spoke deeply to me; I think it's something I'll always struggle with. It's ok for me to hold more than one truth, and I don't have to simplify it to fit into any box that someone else created.
"Embedded in Charlie Brown’s chronic blend of desperation and optimism is the rather adult realization that 'being yourself is a very difficult game'"
@mariapopova
