- icebraining 8y agoYeah, C&H is rarely poignant, which makes sense considering its protagonist is always going at 1000%. Yet, it has its moments, like the raccoon story, which still manages to be funny in its sadness: https://imgur.com/gallery/FATst https://imgur.com/gallery/FATst
- protomyth 8y agoThe racoon story was a bit hard. It reminded me of the death of Farley in For Better Or Worse[1]. Cartoons and animation can do hard death scenes, look at the first segment of Up!. 1) https://web.archive.org/web/20090218213649/http://www.fborfw.com/features/farley/ https://web.archive.org/web/20090218213649/http://www.fborfw...
- glitcher 8y agoI grew up on Peanuts and am a prime candidate to be a lifelong fan. However, later in life I realized that much of it just isn't very funny to me anymore. I think C&H played a big part in adding to my disappointment in Peanuts, as C&H was for me consistently, brilliantly funny. YMMV.
