Title: The Peanuts of Despair
Post by: wombat on March 28, 2011, 04:19:51 pm: If there are never going to be any more of those Achewood strips that make us horribly depressed, fear not, we can read "Peanuts" strips with the last panel omitted.

In both there are two characters talking about a third character who is blissfully unaware of both the conversation taking place and his own shortcomings. Charlie Brown is standing on it.

That's worth a thousand cans, if anything is.
