Rest in Peace, Charlie Brown

A long overdue Grand Finale to the celebrated ‘Peanuts’ cartoon strip. By Raymond J. Dartsch. With apologies to Schulz. —Rest in Peace, Charlie Brown

Really horrible. I mean it. Sick, sick, sick.

I couldn’t stop clicking.

The artwork is decent, but the lettering is hard to read… I hadn’t realized just how much Shultz’s wobbly lines characterizied the words in Peanuts. And dealing with Snoopy so quickly — especially in such an obvious, offensive way — was a mistake. Dartsch should have saved that for later.

Having said all that, Dartsch really does seem to understand Charlie Brown’s character.

  • BRILLIANT! Loved that moment where Linus tied up his security blanket and.... well, you know.
