Just saw the PBS American Masters episode on Charles Schulz

...Oh, man. Wow. Just...freakin' WOW. I'm still crying. A flawed man, to be sure...but also a good man, genuinely good and decent in that way that his fellow Minnesotans like Garrison Keillor understand and embody just as well. Thank whatever God or gods there may be that we got to have him for as long as we did...and that we still have all those years of strips, and all those movies and TV shows, to remember him and the characters he created. Abso-damn-lutely worth missing an episode of Heroes (that will be repeated anyway) to see.

If you get the chance to watch it another night this week, and you're at all a fan of Charlie Brown and his friends, do NOT miss it or you will kick yourself to the end of your days. You can also read a modern cartoonist's thoughts about the show and Peanuts at the pbs.org blog here.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!!!

*seemed the right thing to say* :P

I'll have to see about taping that-sounds intense.

Btw will you be joining us in New Orleans this year?

Don't know as I will be able to afford the trip, but I will look into the possibility. (I'm supposed to be saving money like Scrooge on speed so I can go visit the Songbird in Nairobi before year's end, y'see...)

Thanks for posting this. I will now check all the PBS stations I get to see when they will repeat it (I don't check any station for anything opposite "Heroes").

By the way, missed you at OVFF. :-(

Awww... I missed you, too (and Mike, and Liam--how big is he these days?). HUG.
