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.

I know I've discussed this at least three times, but the first strip is so dark (especially for when it was published) that it's unsurprising that the strip works so well for that blog's purposes.

I never saw the corollary before, but there are some striking similarities between the first peanuts strip and the first achewood strip.  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.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

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

Jesus, the one about sleeping in the back seat is just about the saddest thing ever.  What could the punch line possibly be that would redeem that strip?
