Go read the original Peanuts strips. They weren't about entertainment, they were a look into bullying and the depressing life of Charlie Brown.

From his phrasing that seems to be the parent's problem. They would probably like the lighter, more fluff and less serious Peanuts better.
- jomamaxx 10y agoBack in the day, comedy and art had a lot of curmudgeon, sardonic characters, losers etc.. Try reading 'Andy Capp'. They just don't allow such zaniness anymore. Everyone has to be happy and PC. Think Annie Potts in Ghostbusters: "Ghostbusters, waddya want?"
