Halloween crawls inexorably toward us, a wild beast about to attack with treats, costumes, and decorations, horror movies and specials.
Peanuts is where I learned what a Sopwith Camel was, rather gave me the desire to look it up. Although when I started reading Peanuts, Charles Schultz was still alive. I do think though that stories in peanuts are timeless, and children today will be able to relate. That’s my opinion though, I certainly don’t have studies to back that up, lol.

Religion, Politics, and The Great Pumpkin This is such a great cartoon… I could watch it every year, at least once. Does it bring back the past, I feel that it brings back the past and the future. A great cartoon!

Love Charlie Brown, but I think the next generation won’t connect with him in the same way my generation has done. 😦

That may well be true. And I get the sinking feeling someone may try to reboot the series.

Coincidentally we introduced our kids to Snoopy just today – after being horrified with the posed question “who is snoopy?!” Sigh

Peanuts wasn’t an absolute favorite for me, but I liked (and still like) it. It might be partly nostalgia, but I agree with Green Embers above that much of Peanuts is timeless, though I have to get around the religious aspects. As an adult writer, I particularly enjoy some of the strips with Snoopy’s writing struggles. Somewhere among my writing papers, I keep one strip with him ramming his head into the mailbox when he gets a rejection letter,

Huh… I thought I had seen all your Halloween posts, Donna. Looks like I missed this one.
Nowadays the politics of 2014 look a lot better than what I have today.
Thank you for all the Halloween fun every year. And thank you for being you every day. Mega hugs!

Isn’t it wild the way that works? And that was originally written in the 60s – no matter how much things change they sadly sometimes stay the same, although watching, “It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown”, some things are timeless, in the best way possible. Good Grief!
