		Peanut buying houses and shelling operations are shutting down, tobacco auctions are closing, farmland will go to market by thousands of acres, farm equipment dealers will go bust and banks will suffer.
		The demise of peanuts and tobacco is especially ironic because political sentiments in growing areas are traditionally conservative with voters backing free enterprise, low taxes and limited government.
		Peanuts in Virginia are grown in a relatively small area — the state’s most southern tier — because it has the right type of sandy soil and the necessary long, hot growing season.

		Peanuts: A Golden Celebration is a remarkable collection of strips spanning that time period.
		One of the most interesting inclusions is that of several letters of complaint, ranging from readers whose religious sensibilities have been offended to a 1969 missive from Schulz's own syndicate asking him not to depict Franklin in the same school as the white students anymore.
		Naturally, the much-loved Peanuts holiday specials are covered, as is the musical adaptation You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, but it's the strips that really make the book.

	Is Peanuts really all that great? - The Comics Journal Message Board (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		I was thumbing through an old Fawcett paperback of Peanuts and came across a particularly nasty one with Peppermint Patty and Franklin: Franklin's practicing hockey, and Patty wants to use the space for her own practice, so she says to him, "How many fl hockey players are there in the NHL?" in the last panel.
		PEANUTS, when you come right down to it, is a strip about loneliness, frustration, and many other rather negative things.
		I can't think of any other Peanuts strip (Franklin or no) where race is even alluded to...well, maybe Jose Peterson?...certainly not a factor in the punchline.

		If you were to swap out the art of a Peanuts strip for art by, say, Mort Walker, and alternatively swap the dialogue of a Peanuts strip out for dialogue by Mort Walker, you'd find that Schulz's art adds far less to his strips than his dialogue.

	PULP CULTURE column for December 23, 1999: 'Peanuts' is the poetry of our age
		Like many, I cannot remember a world without "Peanuts." It seems an impossibility to me. Yet the news last week that Schulz, 77, is retiring to concentrate on fighting his recently diagnosed cancer brought home the strip's mortality.
		For almost half a century "Peanuts" has been a thoughtful, funny and humane respite from the responsibilities of the day.
		The loss of "Peanuts" is akin to the loss we experienced when Muppets creator Jim Henson died nearly 10 years ago.

		A favorite of mine that is in this book is the tale of Charlie Brown's adventures at camp, as well as where Lucy bamboozles CB into giving up his chance for a free movie for her.
		Schulz' talent for understated satire is shown during the 1968 strip that introduces the Black child Franklin to the proceedings (this actually received hate mail that Schulz wisely ignored).
		Lucy is just Lucy, practicing her grouchiness, conducting one actual "crab-in," and selling her psychological advice for a nickel a visit; surprisingly, she does manage to cure Snoopy from the state of "rejection-slip shock" he falls into after his publisher rejects his novel and also helps him get over his night-time fear of vampires.

	Mark Twain's "The Late Benjamin Franklin" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		It was in this spirit that he became the son of a soap-boiler; and probably for no other reason than that the efforts of all future boys who tried to be anything might be looked upon with suspicion unless they were the sons of soap-boilers.
		If he buys two cents worth of peanuts, his father says, "Remember what Franklin has said, my son,--`A groat a day's a penny a year;'" and the comfort is all gone out of those peanuts.
		Benjamin Franklin did a great many notable things for his country, and made her young name to be honored in many lands as the mother of such a son.
