Leave Schulz Out of It

 

I culled this from Facebook earlier this week, just to talk about it.

I've loved Peanuts since I was a very young child. I saw myself in Charlie Brown, sometimes in Linus. But everywhere I looked, I saw a creation that understood some of the anxieties children faced, even if I didn't know I was facing anxieties at all.

So it kinda makes me mad, seeing stuff like this.

Linus never said this. Don't put words in his mouth. Leave Charles Schulz out of whatever it is you're talking about.

Because this isn't the comics page. This is using a beloved (by some) comic strip character in propaganda. And we all know how I feel about using things as propaganda.
