"Hello," said Captain Doobie, holding the phone in what he believed to be a cavalier manner, "I'd like to speak to someone about my internet."
There was a pause.
"No I don't have my home phone through you."
There was a slightly longer pause.
"Or my mobile."
There was an even longer pause.
"Could I speak to someone who's not from the planet fuckhead?"

Some Heavy Shit Has Been Going Down And We Didn't Spot It, Man.

There's no easy way to lay this on you, so i'm just going to come right out and say it: how do we know that the characters in the Peanuts comics are kids?

I mean, really, think about it. Apart from Snoopy and Woodstock (who i'm fairly sure are not human), what do we have?

Schroeder: Displays a talent for the piano that children usually don't.
Lucy: Operates a successful psychiatric clinic.
Charlie Brown. Bald. He's fucking bald! Why did you think he was a kid?

We've never seen any 'adults' at all in the comics. Oh, they're talked about, mentioned, but NEVER SEEN. Its like they were all murdered or something, and their children have simply grown up in denial. I can only speculate as to the fate of Ms Othmar.

Suddenly the Peanuts strip seems a whole lot more bizarre, doesn't it?

Cue The Theme From The Magnificent Seven...

You can get it knitting,
You can get it sitting,
You can get it milking a cow,
Matter of fact i've got it now...

A great big thirst
Needs a nice cup of tea

And the nicest cup is Vic.
